Facilities and aircraft

Monroe County Airport covers an area of 1,035 acres (419 ha) at an elevation of 845 feet (258 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 17/35 is 6,500 by 150 feet (1,981 x 46 m) and 6/24 is 3,798 by 100 feet (1,158 x 30 m).[1]

As constructed, the original runway was 5,200 feet (1,585 m) but was later lengthened to 6,500 feet (1,981 m) permitting the operation of Boeing 727 aircraft. In 1995, the aircraft parking ramp was completely replaced allowing for the handling of larger planes. 13 hangars were added at this time as well. Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services and car rentals are available. There are two FBOs at the airport: Cook Aviation (owned by Cook Group) and BMG Aviation.

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 51,177 aircraft operations, an average of 140 per day: 95% general aviation, 4% air taxi, 1% military and <1% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 101 aircraft based at this airport: 77% single-engine, 14% multi-engine, 5% jet, 3% helicopter and 1% ultralight.[1]
