Columbus County Municipal Airport (ICAO: KCPC, FAA LID: CPC) is a county-owned, public-use airport in Columbus County, North Carolina, United States.[1] It is located three nautical miles (6 km) south of the central business district of Whiteville, North Carolina.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
