Decatur County Industrial Air Park

Decatur County Industrial Air Park is a public airport serving Bainbridge and the surrounding region with facilities for general aviation and industrial flight operations. The site has two asphalt runways and infrastructure for aircraft maintenance, fuel services, and year-round business activity.

The facility was established in 1942 as Bainbridge Army Airfield and served as a training center for military pilots during World War II. After the war it was transformed into a civilian airport focused on industrial aviation operations.

The Decatur County Museum maintains records and materials documenting the transformation from military training facility to modern industrial aviation center.

The airport offers 24-hour self-service fuel stations and aircraft maintenance services for visitors and operators. The facility operates year-round and is accessible for various types of aircraft operations and general aviation needs.

Several original hangars from the World War II era still stand at the facility and continue to serve modern aircraft operations. These historic structures demonstrate the long continuity of the site from its military past to present-day commercial use.
