Jim Hamilton L.B. Owens Airport
Serving as South Carolina's capital city reliever airport, Jim Hamilton-L.B. Owens Airport carries the code CUB and takes on general aviation traffic that would otherwise crowd Columbia Metropolitan Airport across town. Named for two figures connected to the region's aviation history, the field supports flight training schools, corporate turboprops, and charter operators rather than scheduled passenger airlines. Its location close to the Congaree River and downtown Columbia makes it convenient for business travelers and University of South Carolina-related traffic alike. A single paved runway and modest terminal building keep operations efficient without the congestion of a larger commercial field.
