Edward F. Knapp State Airport (IATA: MPV, ICAO: KMPV, FAA LID: MPV) is a general aviation airport located in Berlin, Vermont, United States; it is located three miles (5 km) west of the central business district of Barre.

[3] Originally called the Barre-Montpelier Airport, land was purchased on April 5, 1929 and construction proceeded throughout the rest of the year.

For its earlier years, this worked well, but as larger planes started to use the airport, longer paved runways became a necessity.

On March 17, 1970, a ceremony was held to officially recognize that the state now owned and ran the airport.

In 1931, a series of accidents forced Vermont Airways to close and, on July 6, 1931, Emery Davis became the field manager.

In 1944, the flight training operations of East Coast Airways slowed and two former instructors, Edmando Roberti and Dick Mc-Gillicuddy, created the Vermont Flying Service.

Amelia Earhart, a partner in the company, flew the route of the Boston Maine Airways, landing at the Barre-Montpelier Airport, to promote commercial air travel for their business.

[19] In 1981, when Air New England went out of business, Precision Airways was the only airline that flew into and out of E. F. Knapp State Airport.

[20] Since 1989, the only commercial carrier operating out of E. F. Knapp State Airport is Wiggins Airways, which carries air freight for UPS.

[1] For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2018, the airport had 10,500 aircraft operations, an average of 29 per day: 90% general aviation, 5% air taxi and 5% military.

Wiggins Airways carries overnight air freight for UPS and FedEx out of the airport.
