Auburn University Regional Airport with the Robert G. Pitts Field (IATA: AUO[3], ICAO: KAUO, FAA LID: AUO) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) east of the central business district of Auburn, a city in Lee County, Alabama, United States.

[5] When first constructed in 1930, the Auburn–Opelika Airport was a private airfield built to serve the sister cities of Auburn and Opelika located in Lee County, Alabama.

Over the next decade, the airport would go from a private airfield, to a stop along the mail route for the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and eventually become a training ground for the U.S. Military.

As of August 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration gave clearance for the installation of a glideslope antenna and approach lighting system (MALSF) for runway 36.

[6] These improvements will help the airport provide better service for the large crowds of people who fly in to attend college football games at Auburn University.

That same year, the WWII era hangar and maintenance facilities were demolished and taxiway A, parallel to Runway 18/36, was shifted further west to meet FAA design standards.

Auburn University Regional Airport covers an area of 423 acres (171 ha) at an elevation of 777 feet (237 m) above mean sea level.

[1] For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021, the airport had 110,422 aircraft operations, an average of 302 per day: 96% general aviation, 4% air taxi, and <1% military.
