South Alabama Regional Airport at Bill Benton Field , formerly known as Andalusia-Opp Airport, is a public use airport in Covington County, Alabama, United States.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
I'm based here so I see the good and the bad
but it's hard to find anything bad.
It seems everyone's attitude is centered on service
and cooperation.
All of this plus very good fuel
prices and a nice cafe at the heliport. Keep it up!

Every time we stop here is a wonderful experience!!
All of the employees are absolutely kind and very generous!! We always stop and eat the buffet style
food that is always delicious and a good variety, I might add!! My husband and I own a little flight school out of KGCM in Claremore Oklahoma! We are a group of four planes headed to the Bahamas for a week!!! We have a Piper 180, a Warrior 160, a Cessna 150, and a Rockwall Commander in this year’s gaggle : )

Thank you.

Busy non-towered airport. FBO has a courteous and professional staff. I will return. I have family nearby and I understand there are several good restaurants in the area.
