Bessemer Airport (ICAO: KEKY, FAA LID: EKY, formerly 2A3) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Bessemer, a city in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States.[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a reliever airport[2] for the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.[1]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned EKY by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
