regional airport
Small-scale flight hub
A regional airport is a smaller commercial airport serving a limited geographic area, typically offering fewer destinations and airlines than major hubs.
Regional airports handle shorter flights and smaller aircraft, often connecting passengers to larger airports for longer journeys: We flew into the regional airport and drove the rest of the way.
They're valued for convenience and shorter security lines.
