Slidell Airport (ICAO: KASD, FAA LID: ASD) is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) northwest of the central business district of Slidell, a city in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, United States.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned ASD by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned ASD to Andros Town Airport on Andros Island in the Bahamas[3]).
