Pearland Regional Airport (ICAO: KLVJ, FAA LID: LVJ) is a public-use general aviation airport located in unincorporated Brazoria County, Texas, United States south of the city limits of Pearland and 17 miles (27 km) south of the central business district of Houston. The airport and FBO is managed by Texas Aviation Partners, LLC. It was formerly known as Clover Field.[2]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Pearland Regional Airport is assigned LVJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
