Courtland Airport[1][2] (FAA LID: 9A4) is a public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Courtland, a town in Lawrence County, Alabama, United States.

Following the onset of World War II, the United States faced a challenging goal to train upwards of 75,000 to 100,000 pilots per year.

Due to the climate allowing year-round flight instruction, as well as the low airways congestion, North Alabama was considered to be a good location for one of the new Army Air Force training fields.

Courtland Airport covers an area of 350 acres (142 ha) at an elevation of 588 feet (179 m) above mean sea level.

[1] For the 12-month period ending April 14, 2010, the airport had 11,900 aircraft operations, an average of 32 per day: 92% general aviation and 8% military.
