Mexico Memorial Airport (ICAO: KMYJ, FAA LID: MYJ) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of Mexico, a city in Audrain County, Missouri, 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 MYJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned MYJ to Matsuyama Airport in Japan[4]).
Mexico Memorial Airport covers an area of 290 acres (120 ha) at an elevation of 823 feet (251 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways: 6/24 is 5,501 by 100 feet (1,677 x 30 m) with a concrete surface and 18/36 is 3,199 by 50 feet (975 x 15 m) with an asphalt and concrete surface.[1]
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2010, the airport had 12,200 aircraft operations, an average of 33 per day: 89% general aviation, 11% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 35 aircraft based at this airport: 80% single-engine, 17% multi-engine, and 3% helicopter.[1]
Zenith Aircraft Company designs, develops and manufactures kit aircraft. The company was founded in 1992 and is located at the airport. In 2017 the company celebrated its 25th anniversary.[5]
