Halifax–Northampton Regional Airport (ICAO: KIXA, FAA LID: IXA) is a public use airport located eight nautical miles (9 mi, 15 km) south of the central business district of Roanoke Rapids, a city in Halifax County, North Carolina, United States.[1] It is owned by the Halifax–Northampton Regional Airport Authority.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
