Southwest Washington Regional Airport (IATA: KLS, ICAO: KKLS, FAA LID: KLS) is a city-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of the central business district of Kelso, in Cowlitz County, Washington, United States. The airport was renamed in 2009, prior to which it was known as Kelso-Longview Regional Airport or Molt Taylor Field. History
Kelso-Longview Airport opened in May 1941 on 109 acres of a nearby dairy farm, as a training field for amateur pilots, and has since become a regional transportation center for southwest Washington. In 1950 the old landing strip was paved, and in the 1960s the first administration and terminal buildings were built.
