Hartford Brainard Airport — Hartford, United States

Hartford Brainard Airport, coded HFD, is a general aviation airport located just south of downtown Hartford, Connecticut, along the Connecticut River. Notably, it is one of the oldest continuously operating airports in the United States, with roots dating back to the 1920s, and it briefly served commercial airline traffic before that role shifted to Bradley International Airport further north. Today HFD primarily supports private aircraft, corporate jets, flight training, and charter operations rather than scheduled passenger airline service. Its close proximity to downtown Hartford makes it a convenient option for business aviation compared to Bradley, which lies a greater distance from the city center.
