Ames Municipal Airport (IATA: AMW, ICAO: KAMW, FAA LID: AMW) is two miles (3 km) southeast of Ames, in Story County, Iowa.[1]

Originally consisting of two turf runways, the airport was created after a 1943 vote by the city of Ames.[2] A new terminal and hangar were constructed in 2017, as part of a modernization effort.[3][4]

Facilities[]

The airport covers 700 acres (280 ha) and has two runways: 1/19 is 5,701 by 100 ft (1,738 by 30 m) asphalt and 13/31 is 3,491 by 75 ft (1,064 by 23 m) concrete.[1]

In the year ending September 30, 2013 the airport had 33,751 aircraft operations: 94% general aviation, 5% air taxi and 1% military. In January 2017, 86 aircraft were based at the airport: 61 single-engine, 7 multi-engine, 2 jet, 13 glider and 3 ultralight.[1]

NTSB records show no fatal accidents at Ames since 1962 (the earliest year which can be searched in their database).
