Duplin County Airport (ICAO: KDPL, FAA LID: DPL)[2] is a county-owned, public-use airport in Duplin County, North Carolina, United States.[1] It is located two nautical miles (4 km) northwest of the central business district of Kenansville, North Carolina.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[3]
