✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Lowcountry Regional Airport (RBW/KRBW) is a public general aviation airport just northeast of Walterboro, South Carolina. Its site traces back to World War II-era Walterboro Army Airfield, and today it serves private, business, and emergency aircraft with two runways. It is a convenient low-traffic stop between Charleston and Savannah, with no scheduled commercial airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call ahead for after-hours fuel and hangar space, especially on weekends and during regional fly-ins. The quiet ramp and WWII airfield history make it a good alternative to busier Charleston-area airports.
🚖 Getting There
RBW is roughly 45-50 miles west of Charleston International Airport (CHS) and about 60 miles north of Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV). Road access is via I-95 and local Walterboro roads; the drive from I-95 is short. There is no public transit to the airport, so plan for a rental car, hotel shuttle, or prearranged ride.
