Luray Caverns Airport (ICAO: KLUA, FAA LID: LUA, formerly W45) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) west of the central business district of Luray, a town in Page County, Virginia, United States. The airport is owned by the Town of Luray and Page County.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned LUA by the FAA,[1] but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned LUA to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, Nepal).[3]
