Quick Facts Summary, Airport type ...

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.[4]

The airport is the central focus of Brunswick Landing: Maine's Center for Innovation, a business park.[5]

On July 28th, 2023, Air Force One landed on the runway with President Joe Biden, for Biden to then be escorted to Auburn by a V-22 Osprey aircraft.
