Danielson Airport (ICAO: KLZD, FAA LID: LZD, formerly 5B3) is a state-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northwest of the central business district of Danielson, a borough in the town of Killingly in Windham County, Connecticut, United States. The airport was initially opened as a small air strip to accommodate aircraft arriving for service at the Harvard H. Ellis Regional Vocational Technical School, with it's first paved runway completed in 1962. It is the smallest airport in the state to be included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned LZD by the FAA but has no assignment from the IATA.
