Meriden Markham Municipal Airport (ICAO: KMMK, FAA LID: MMK) is a public-use airport located three miles (5 km) southwest of the central business district of Meriden, a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. This general aviation airport is owned by City of Meriden.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Meriden Markham Municipal Airport is assigned MMK by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned MMK to Murmansk Airport in Murmansk, Russia).[2][3]

History

The history of the airport goes back to at least 1928 when Ernest L. Markham was named the first airport manager; on 14 July 1962 the airport was renamed in honor of Markham for his 32 years of dedicated service.[4]

Facilities and aircraft

Meriden Markham Municipal Airport covers an area of 157 acres (64 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (18/36) measuring 3,100 x 75 ft (945 x 23 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending May 30, 2007, the airport had 18,028 aircraft operations, an average of 49 per day: 97% local general aviation, 1% transient general aviation, 1% air taxi and <1% military. There are 70 aircraft based at this airport: 96% single engine, 3% multi-engine and 1% helicopters.[1]

The Connecticut Wing Civil Air Patrol Silver City Cadet Squadron (NER-CT-014) operates out of the airport.[5]
