Beverly Regional Airport (IATA: BVY, ICAO: KBVY, FAA LID: BVY) is a city owned, public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Beverly, a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a reliever airport, which means it is available to relieve Logan International Airport of small general aviation type aircraft during Logan's peak traffic times.
Beverly Regional Airport was built in 1928 through the efforts of the Beverly Aero Club and the Beverly Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. Navy operated the airport during World War II under a joint-use agreement as Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Beverly. Ownership of the airport was transferred back to the City of Beverly in 1950.
Beverly Regional Airport covers an area of 470 acres (190 ha) at an elevation of 107 feet (33 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways with asphalt surfaces: 9/27 is 4,755 by 100 feet (1,449 x 30 m) and 16/34 is 5,001 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m).
