Driggs–Reed Memorial Airport (ICAO: KDIJ, FAA LID: DIJ, formerly U59) is a city-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Driggs, a city in Teton County, Idaho, United States.[1] This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned DIJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned DIJ to Dijon Airport in Dijon, France[4]).
