Buffalo Municipal Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located two miles (3 km) southeast of the central business district of Buffalo, a city in Wright County, Minnesota, United States.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Buffalo Municipal Airport is assigned CFE by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned CFE to Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France[3]).
