Iowa County Airport (ICAO: KMRJ, FAA LID: MRJ) is a county-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Mineral Point, a city in Iowa County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2025–2029, in which it is categorized as a local 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 MRJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned MRJ to Marcala Airport in Marcala, Honduras).[4]
Iowa County Airport covers an area of 383 acres (155 ha) at an elevation of 1,171 feet (357 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways with asphalt surfaces: the primary runway 11/29 is 5,001 by 75 feet (1,524 x 23 m) and the crosswind runway 4/22 is 3,600 by 60 feet (1,097 x 18 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending May 22, 2024, the airport had 14,750 aircraft operations, an average of 40 per day: 92% general aviation, 5% air taxi and 3% military. In August 2024, there were 29 aircraft based at this airport: 25 single-engine, 2 multi-engine and 2 helicopter.[1]
