Demopolis Municipal Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KDYA, FAA LID: DYA, formerly 7A2) is a city-owned public-use airport located six nautical miles (7 mi, 11 km) southwest of the central business district of Demopolis, a city in Marengo County, Alabama, United States.[1] It is also known as Demopolis Regional Airport[3] and Julian D. "Buzz" Sawyer Airport.[4]
This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015[5] and 2009–2013,[6] both of which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

For the 12-month period ending September 9, 2010, the airport had 5,250 aircraft operations, an average of 14 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% military. At that time there were 18 aircraft based at this airport: 89% single-engine and 11% multi-engine.[1]
