St. Charles Airport (FAA LID: 3SQ) was a privately owned, public use airport located four nautical miles (7.41 km) north of the central business district of the City of St. Charles in St. Charles County, Missouri, United States.[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007–2011, it was categorized as a reliever airport.[2] The airport closed on June 30, 2010, and was restored to agricultural use farmland.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, St. Charles Airport was assigned 3SQ by the FAA but had no designation from the IATA.[3]
