Cape Fear Regional Jetport[1][2][3] (ICAO: KSUT, FAA LID: SUT), also known as Howie Franklin Field,[1][2] is a public use airport in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States.[1] It is owned by the Brunswick County Airport Commission and located one nautical mile (2 km) northeast of the central business district of Oak Island, North Carolina.[1] Formerly known as Brunswick County Airport,[4] it is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[5]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned SUT by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA[6] (which assigned SUT to Sumbawanga Airport in Sumbawanga, Tanzania).[7][8]
Cape Fear Regional Jetport covers an area of 185 acres (75 ha) at an elevation of 26 feet (8 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,505 by 100 feet (1,678 x 30 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending November 23, 2010, the airport had 77,000 aircraft operations, an average of 210 per day: 96% general aviation and 4% military. At that time there were 67 aircraft based at this airport: 92.5% single-engine, 3% multi-engine, 3% ultralight, and 1.5% helicopter.[1]
