Indianapolis Regional Airport (ICAO: KMQJ, FAA LID: MQJ) is a public use airport in Hancock County, Indiana, United States. Owned by Indianapolis Airport Authority, it is 12 nautical miles (22 km) east of the central business district of Indianapolis. The airport is also 7 nautical miles (13 km) northwest of Greenfield and 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of McCordsville. It was known as Mount Comfort Airport until March 2011.
This facility is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015–2019, which categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport for Indianapolis International Airport. Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Indianapolis Regional Airport is assigned MQJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned MQJ to Moma Airport in Khonuu, Russia).
The airport is home to the Indianapolis Air Show.
Indianapolis Regional Airport covers an area of 1,805 acres (730 ha) at an elevation of 862 feet (263 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways: 7/25 with a 6,005 by 100 ft (1,830 by 30 m) asphalt surface and 16/34 with a 3,901 by 75 ft (1,189 by 23 m) concrete surface.
