Our mission is to be a world-class air facility serving our community, region, aviation, business and industrial base, and be recognized by these groups as a viable asset. Smyrna Airport is designated a General Aviation/Reliever Airport, certificated by the FAA as a Part 139 Class IV airport. A Public Safety Department staffed round the clock provides police, fire and emergency medical services. The primary runway is 8,048 feet long and is equipped with an Instrument Landing System. The second runway is 5,546 feet long. The airfield is equipped with a complete lighting system with intensity sensitive runway lighting. The Air Traffic Control Tower operates 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., seven days per week. Smyrna Airport currently operates as a joint use facility with the Tennessee Army National Guard. The airport also serves as a military flight training facility as well as a hurricane evacuation point for military bases along the Gulf and East Coasts. Located twelve nautical miles south of Nashville Airport, Smyrna Airport is the "reliever" airport for Nashville. With more than 1,700 acres, Smyrna Airport is the third largest airport in Tennessee and the busiest general aviation airport in Tennessee. Smyrna Airport users have, within ten miles, access to rail and three interstate systems which bisect Middle Tennessee. Smyrna Airport is located in the geographic center of Tennessee and more importantly the center of the eastern United States. Eighty percent of the United States population lives within a 700- mile radius of Smyrna. These factors influence the tremendous growth and ongoing location of industry in the Smyrna area.
