municipal airport
Local government airstrip
A municipal airport is an airport owned and operated by a local government—a city, town, or county.
These typically serve general aviation, private planes, and regional flights rather than major commercial traffic: The company jet landed at the municipal airport outside town.
Larger cities may have both a municipal airport and a separate international hub.
