Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport[2][3] (IATA: HTV, ICAO: KUTS, FAA LID: UTS), also known as Huntsville Municipal Airport,[1][4] is a city-owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northwest of the central business district of Huntsville, a city in Walker County, Texas, United States.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[5]

This airport is assigned a three-letter location identifier of UTS by the Federal Aviation Administration, but the International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code is HTV (the IATA assigned UTS to Ust-Tsilma Airport in Russia).[1][6][7][8]

In 2009 the Huntsville City Council had approved a name change of the airport from Huntsville Municipal Airport to Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport.[2] On May 28, 2010, the airport was rededicated in honor of two World War II veterans, Harry Joe Bruce and Reeves "Jeep" Bruce, who died during the course of that war.[3] The ribbon cutting was scheduled to be held on that day.[9] However, as of December 2015, it is still listed as Huntsville Municipal Airport by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation.[1][4]

The airport covers an area of 180 acres (73 ha) at an elevation of 363 feet (111 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,005 by 100 feet (1,526 x 30 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending April 8, 2023, the airport had 39,613 aircraft operations, an average of 108 per day: 89% general aviation, 11% military, and <1% air taxi. At that time there were 52 aircraft based at this airport: 46 single-engine, 4 multi-engine, and 2 jet.[1]
