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]).
Buffalo Municipal Airport covers an area of 57acres and has one runway designated 18/36 with a 2,600 x 60 ft (792 x 18 m) asphalt surface. For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2006, the airport had 22,350 aircraft operations, an average of 61 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% air taxi and 1% military. In November 2016, there were 67 aircraft based at this airport: 63 single-engine and 4 multi-engine.
The airport opened in 1966 with a single 2600 foot grass runway. The runway was paved and lighted in 1986.
The current Arrivals and Departures building was built in 2007.[4]
A Lockheed T-33A serial number 51-9235 is on display near the entrance of the airport.
