Key West International Airport (IATA: EYW, ICAO: KEYW, FAA LID: EYW) is a county-owned public airport located two miles (3 km) east of the central business district of Key West, in Monroe County, Florida, United States.
The IATA code starts from the second letter of the name (Key West) because initial "K" is a reserved block; the ICAO code restores the K in the identification as "K" is the first position ICAO code used for airports located in the Continental United States. Flights departing from EYW often have strict weight or baggage restrictions due to the short length of the runway. History
Key West's aviation history begins with a 1913 flight to Cuba by Augustin Parla. In 1928, Pan American Airlines began scheduled flights from Key West. Meacham Field was the primary runway for Key West. It was initially pressed into Army use after the Pearl Harbor bombing, and then later during World War II by the Navy as an adjunct runway to the Trumbo Point Seaplane Base and the main Naval Air Station for fixed-wing and lighter-than-air (i.e., blimp) aircraft on Boca Chica Key. After the war, control of the runway was returned to the city and the civilian facility was eventually called the Key West Municipal Airport. In January 1953, the city gave Monroe County clear title to Meacham Field, allowing the county to apply for CAA grants. It was at this time that the name changed to the Key West International Airport.

Key West International Airport covers an area of 255 acres (103 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (9/27) measuring 4,801 x 100 ft (1,463 x 30 m). For the year 2006, the airport had 94,408 aircraft operations—an average of 258 per day. This included 51% general aviation, 29% air taxi, 14% military and 6% scheduled commercial. There are 43 aircraft based at this airport: 31 single-engine and 21 multi-engine.
The airport has two terminals desighned by Mark Mosko/Dwane Stark of URS (Mr. Mark Mosko also did work on the Baltimore/Washington International Airport). The older one opened in 1957 and now serves arriving passengers. The newer terminal opened in February 2009 and serves departing passengers. With an area of approximately 30,000 square feet (2,800 m), it more than doubled the size of the airport. Parking for 300 vehicles is located at ground level beneath the newer terminal—150 spaces for rental cars and 150 for the public.
