Morristown Airport (IATA: MMU[2], ICAO: KMMU, FAA LID: MMU) is in Morris County, New Jersey, United States,[1] three miles east of downtown Morristown and 40 miles west of Manhattan, New York City.

The airport opened in the early 1930s, but due to the Great Depression, the activity at the field was relatively slow.

[4] Morristown Municipal Airport's initial purpose was to serve as the eastern hub for the Zeppelin, but due to the Hindenburg Disaster in 1936, those plans were later scrapped.

In 1969, Judge Joseph Stamler of New Jersey Superior Court issued a 1969 opinion in a case regarding noise from business jets operating at the airport, brought by residents and governments of surrounding municipalities, in which he set a curfew limiting takeoffs and landings during overnight hours.

The judge said, "the giants of industry will see the wisdom of slowing the cross-country speed of their important executives, and will take a close, concerned look at the little people of this country" who were dealing with the impact of noise and ticket prices.

Morristown's airport expansion meant a significant extension to its main runway from 4000ft to 5998ft, a new, state-of-the-art control tower, and an instrument landing system (ILS).

[8][9]* In the year ending July 31, 2022, the airport had 110,939 aircraft operations, an average of 304 per day: 88% general aviation, 12% air taxi, <1% military and <1% airline.
