Manitowoc County Airport ( IATA: MTW, ICAO: KMTW, FAA LID: MTW) is located two miles northwest of Manitowoc, in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. [1] It is 21 miles from Whistling Straights golf course and 34 minutes from Road America.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025 categorized it as a local general aviation facility. [2]
The first airline flights were North Central DC-3s in 1953–1954; successor Republic pulled out in 1981–1983.
The airport covers 710 acres (287 ha) at an elevation of 651 feet (198 m). It has two asphalt runways: the primary runway 17/35 is 5,001 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m) and the crosswind runway 7/25 is 3,341 by 100 feet (1,018 x 30 m). [1]
For the year ending September 14, 2021 the airport had 33,100 aircraft operations, an average of 91 per day: 97% general aviation, 3% air taxi and less than 1% military. In April 2024, there were 60 aircraft based at this airport: 55 single-engine, 2 multi-engine, 1 jet and 2 glider. [1]
The Manitowoc (MTW) DME is on the field; the VOR function of this navaid was decommissioned sometime in mid-2019.
Lakeshore Aviation was the fixed-base operator (FBO) until December 1, 2013, when Manitowoc County took over operations.
Public transit service is provided by Maritime Metro Transit, with the nearest bus stops on Menasha Avenue.
