Burnet Municipal Airport (ICAO: KBMQ, FAA LID: BMQ), also known as Kate Craddock Field, is a city-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) southwest of the central business district of Burnet, a city in Burnet County, Texas, United States.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BMQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned BMQ to Bamburi, Kenya[3]).

The lighted runway, with a full length taxiway, has two instrument approaches and can accommodate aircraft with up to 30,000 pounds (14,000 kg) per wheel. Faulkner's Air Shop is the fixed-base operator (FBO). Avgas and jet fuel are available.[4]

For the 12-month period ending September 5, 2007, the airport had 31,200 aircraft operations, an average of 85 per day: 98% general aviation and 2% military. At that time there were 43 aircraft based at this airport: 93% single-engine and 7% multi-engine.[1]
