Somerset Airport is a public-use airport in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. It is located three miles (5 km) north of the central business district of Somerville and is privately owned by Somerset Air Service, Inc. The airport is also known as George Walker Field.[3]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Somerset Airport is assigned SMQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned SMQ to Sampit Airport in Indonesia).[4] [5]
Somerset Airport covers an area of 210acres which contains three runways:
For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2023, the airport had 43,700 aircraft operations, an average of 120 per day, all of which were general aviation. As of April 30, 2023, there were 92 aircraft based at this airport: 83 single-engine, 4 multi-engine, 3 helicopters, and 2 gliders.
Somerset Airport is within a 10-mile radius of the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and thereby subject to FAA flight restrictions whenever President Donald Trump is in Bedminster. Thus, the airport was shut down from August 4–20, 2017 while Trump resided in Bedminster.[6]
