Bend Municipal Airport (ICAO: KBDN, FAA LID: BDN) is a city-owned, public-use airport located 5 nautical miles (9 km; 6 mi) northeast of the central business district of Bend, a city in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility. Bend serves as the home to Cessna Aircraft (formerly Columbia Aircraft) and Epic Aircraft.
Commercial air traffic to Central Oregon uses Roberts Field in Redmond, Oregon, about 20 miles north of Bend.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BDN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned BDN to Talhar Airport in Badin, Pakistan).

Famous quotes containing the words bend, municipal and/or airport:
“I marvel at the many ways we, as black people, bend but do not break in order to survive. This astonishes me, and what excites me I write about. Everyone of us is a wonder. Everyone of us has a story.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace, is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas.”
—Alfred E. Smith (1873–1944)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
