Beauregard Regional Airport

Beauregard Regional Airport (KDRI) is a medium airport in DeRidder, LA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KDRI or IATA code DRI. It sits in North America.

Beauregard Regional Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,494-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,494 ft (1,675 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Beauregard Regional Airport sits near sea level at 202 ft.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 164 departing and 191 arriving private-jet legs at KDRI across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KDRI are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
