Kinston Regional Jetport (IATA: ISO, ICAO: KISO, FAA LID: ISO), also known as Stallings Field, is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the central business district of Kinston, a city in Lenoir County, North Carolina. The airport has a single runway that is one of the longest in the southeastern United States.[citation needed] It is mostly used for general aviation.

East Carolina University utilizes the airport for flights involving its athletic teams and other university personnel. Teams visiting ECU also fly in and out of Kinston. Its runway is long enough to accommodate large jets chartered by college football teams.

The Kinston Regional Jetport features free parking as well as free wireless Internet access in its terminal. The terminal also houses several businesses, including Philbros Gift and Coffee Shop as well as Robert Franchise Transportation, a commercial transportation service. Rental car agencies are located in the terminal.

One of the central features of the Kinston Regional Jetport is the Global TransPark (GTP), an industrial park adjoining the airport. It was built to bring high-tech industry and economic development to eastern North Carolina.

Spirit AeroSystems manufactures parts of the Airbus A350 at its Kinston facility at GTP.
