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).
