Buckeye Municipal Airport (IATA: BXK, ICAO: KBXK, FAA LID: BXK) is a town-owned public-use airport located six nautical miles (11 km) northwest of the central business district of Buckeye, a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility. It is not served by any commercial airlines at this time.

Facilities and aircraft

Buckeye Municipal Airport covers an area of 706 acres (286 ha) at an elevation of 1,033 feet (315 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 17/35 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,500 by 75 feet (1,676 x 23 m).

For the 12-month period ending April 22, 2009, the airport had 52,920 aircraft operations, an average of 144 per day: 99.8% general aviation, 0.2% military and <0.1% air taxi. At that time there were 44 aircraft based at this airport: 75% single-engine, 5% multi-engine, 9% helicopter and 11% ultralight.

The Town of Buckeye is home to the Buckeye Municipal Airport. The airport is located approximately 1 mile south of Interstate-10 at the Palo Verde interchange. Currently, our Airport is equipped with a 5,500 ft. north/south aligned runway designed for use by small, general aviation aircraft. The figure below illustrates the current layout of the Buckeye Municipal Airport.

Buckeye Municipal Airport serves Buckeye and Maricopa County and is owned by Town Of Buckeye. The paved runway extends for 4300 feet. The facility is at an elevation of 1021 feet at a distance of about 6 miles from Buckeye.

Although the Buckeye Municipal Airport is currently used for small, general aviation aircraft, its size (800 acres) and location (1/4 mile from a major interchange off of Interstate 10) give it the potential to be an exceptional commercial airpark. It is already the home of the Groen Brothers Aviation Company flight testing operation, which has created approximately 45 high-tech aviation jobs at the airport. In the "Sites Available" section of this web site, there is a detailed plan featuring available commercial and industrial areas at the Buckeye Municipal Airport.
