Warsaw Municipal Airport is a city-owned general aviation field two miles north of downtown Warsaw, Indiana, offering a full-length hard-surfaced runway with an ILS approach alongside a shorter crosswind strip. It is a useful stop for VFR and IFR training and business traffic in northern Indiana, sitting under the Fort Wayne Approach/Departure area.
Warsaw Municipal Airport is a public-use general aviation aerodrome owned by the Warsaw Board of Aviation Commissioners, serving the city of Warsaw in Kosciusko County, Indiana. It offers an instrument-equipped main runway and a shorter crosswind runway, making it a practical destination for training flights, business aircraft and local touring pilots in the region.
The airport lies about two miles north of the central business district of Warsaw, Indiana, in Kosciusko County. Traffic in the area is worked by Fort Wayne Approach/Departure, and pilots should expect to coordinate with that facility when operating in the vicinity.
The field has two physical runways. Runway 09/27 is hard-surfaced and lit, with the 09 threshold giving 5,965 ft available and the 27 threshold giving 5,066 ft available; an ILS is provided for Runway 27. Runway 18/36 is also hard-surfaced and lit, with 4,595 ft available from the 18 threshold and 4,399 ft from the 36 threshold. Field elevation is 840 ft.
Fort Wayne Approach/Departure is available on 127.2 MHz. The airport's automated weather observation is broadcast on AWOS-3 at 121.125 MHz. A clearance delivery frequency of 134.05 MHz is listed, along with a Terre Haute radio outlet on 113.7 MHz for clearance delivery relay. CTAF/UNICOM is on 122.7 MHz. An ILS serves Runway 27, and the airport's own information also refers to GPS and VOR approaches being available, reflecting the instrument landing system installed in 1994.
Warsaw Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the Warsaw Board of Aviation Commissioners on behalf of the city. An Instrument Landing System was installed in 1994, giving all categories of aircraft the ability to fly instrument approaches into Warsaw with weather minimums as low as a 200-foot ceiling and three-quarter-mile visibility, an improvement promoted at the time as both a safety and economic development benefit for the city. The airport's hangar facilities grew steadily from the late 1990s onward: a first ten-unit T-hangar (Hangar A) was built in 1999 and was quickly fully let, prompting planning for a second ten-unit T-hangar (Hangar B), which was completed in March 2007 with the help of federal entitlement grants.
The airport is promoted locally under the tagline "Warsaw Municipal Airport is where Warsaw meets the World," and continues to serve general aviation traffic with two runways, courtesy vehicles for visiting pilots, and T-hangar facilities that have expanded over the years to meet demand from based aircraft.
