Raleigh County Memorial Airport[1][2] (IATA: BKW, ICAO: KBKW, FAA LID: BKW) is three miles east of Beckley, in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States. It is owned by the Raleigh County Airport Authority.[2] The airport is used for general aviation and sees one scheduled passenger airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 3,630 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[3] 2,626 in 2009 and 2,429 in 2010.[4] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport based on enplanements in 2008 (between 2,500 and 10,000)[5] but would categorize it as general aviation based in enplanements in 2010 (under 2,500).

The airport opened in 1950–52 with a 4200-foot east–west runway; the first airline flights were Piedmont DC-3s in 1952. (The last Piedmont YS-11 left in 1981.) The runway was extended to 5000 ft in the 1950s, and 6750-ft runway 1 was added between 1975 and 1979.

In 2005 the airport was the least busy airport with scheduled airline service in the United States, with 2,578 passengers that year.[6]
