McClellan-Palomar Airport (IATA: CLD, ICAO: KCRQ, FAA LID: CRQ) is a public airport located in Carlsbad serving the northern part of San Diego County, California, USA. The airport covers 466 acres and has one runway. It is mostly used for general aviation, but is also served by two commercial airlines.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, McClellan-Palomar Airport is assigned CRQ[1] by the FAA and CLD[2] by the IATA (which assigned CRQ to Caravelas, Brazil[3]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KCRQ.[2]
The airport is named for Gerald McClellan, an aviator and civic leader in San Diego's North County area.[4]
