Key West International Airport (IATA: EYW, ICAO: KEYW, FAA LID: EYW) is an international airport located in the City of Key West in Monroe County, Florida, United States, 2 miles (3.2 km; 1.7 nmi) east of the main commercial centre of Key West.
The relatively short 5,076-foot-long (1,547 m) runway limits the maximum size of aircraft that can serve the airport, along with restricting the weight of flights departing.
Key West's aviation history began in 1913 with a flight to Cuba by Augustin Parlay. In 1928, Pan American Airways began scheduled flights from Key West. The main runway at Meacham Field was pressed into U.S. Army use after the Pearl Harbour attack, as well as into U.S. Navy use later in World War II as an alternative to the Trumbo Point seaplane base and the main Naval Air Station for fixed-wing
