Edward F. Knapp State Airport (IATA: MPV, ICAO: KMPV, FAA LID: MPV) is a general aviation airport located in Berlin, Vermont, United States; it is located three miles (5 km) west of the central business district of Barre.[1][2] As well as serving Barre, it also serves the Montpelier region. It currently has no scheduled airline service, but the airport was formerly served by Air New England.
The airport began a major construction project in April 2010, constructing a new taxiway, as well repaving the runway and expanding the apron near the terminal area. The $6.2 million project was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[3]
