Tuscola Area Airport (ICAO: KCFS, FAA LID: CFS, formerly 78D) is a public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southwest of the central business district of Caro, a city in Tuscola County, Michigan, United States. It is owned by the Tuscola Area Airport Authority.[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation airport.[2]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned CFS by the FAA and no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned CFS to Coffs Harbour Airport in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia[4]).
