Brunswick Executive Airport (IATA: NHZ, ICAO: KBXM, FAA LID: BXM) is a public use general aviation airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southeast of the central business district of Brunswick, a town in Cumberland County, Maine, United States. It is owned by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority.[2]

The airport is located on the site of the former Naval Air Station Brunswick. The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure committee recommended the closure of NAS Brunswick. The airport was opened for civilian aircraft use in June 2011.[3]

The airport is the central focus of Brunswick Landing: Maine's Center for Innovation, a business park.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BXM by the FAA[2] but has no designation from the IATA[5] (which assigned BXM to Batom Airport in Indonesia).[6] The airport's ICAO identifier is KBXM.[7]

Facilities

Brunswick Executive Airport covers an area of 720 acres (291 ha) at an elevation of 75 feet (23 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways, 1L/19R and 1R/19L, each measuring 8,000 by 200 feet (2,438 x 61 m).[2]
