Location

Roswell, United States

Roswell Air Center Airport, designated IATA code ROW and ICAO code KROW, is a public airport located in Roswell, New Mexico, United States. It serves the southeastern New Mexico region and handles a mix of commercial, cargo, general aviation, and aircraft storage operations. The airport is built on the former Walker Air Force Base, which was a Strategic Air Command installation that closed in 1967. The extensive runway infrastructure and large facilities inherited from its military past make it particularly well-suited for aircraft storage and maintenance, a role for which it has become regionally known. Roswell Air Center supports limited scheduled commercial service connecting the city to regional hubs, alongside significant activity from cargo operators and private aviation. Its proximity to the famous Roswell UFO incident site also makes it a point of interest for tourism in the area.
