Millington-Memphis Airport is a public-use airport located in Millington, Tennessee, approximately 20 miles north of downtown Memphis. The facility was formerly known as Naval Air Station Memphis and served as a major U.S. Navy training installation for decades before transitioning to joint civilian and military use. The airport is operated by the Millington-Memphis Airport Authority and sits on a large property that still hosts some military and government aviation activities. It is designated as a reliever airport for Memphis International Airport, helping to reduce general aviation traffic at the primary commercial hub. The field features multiple runways capable of handling a wide range of aircraft and has been marketed to cargo operators and general aviation users looking for an alternative to the busier Memphis International Airport.
