Anderson Municipal Airport

Anderson Municipal Airport  (Darlington Field) is three miles east of Anderson, in Madison County, Indiana. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility. The airport currently has no scheduled air service.

Previous air service
Prior to the closing of the General Motors factories in Anderson, the airport did have relatively small service to Detroit (Metro), Detroit (City), Kokomo, Buffalo, Indianapolis, and Dayton. This service, however, was very limited and intended for General Motors employees to go from factory to factory. These flights were served by snacks and even a Continental Breakfast.

Facilities
The airport covers 619 acres (251 ha) at an elevation of 919 feet (280 m). It has two asphalt runways: 12/30 is 5,400 by 100 feet (1,646 x 30 m) and 18/36 is 3,400 by 75 feet (1,036 x 23 m).

In 2009 the airport had 16,631 aircraft operations, average 45 per day: 93% general aviation, 6% air taxi, and 1% military. 78 aircraft were then based at the airport: 89% single-engine, 6% multi-engine, 3% ultralight, 1% helicopter, and 1% glider.
