FAA airport diagram Grant County International Airport (IATA: MWH, ICAO: KMWH, FAA LID: MWH) is a public use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) northwest of the central business district of Moses Lake, in Grant County, Washington, United States. It is owned by the Port of Moses Lake.
Its 13,500-foot (4,100 m) runway is one of the longest in the U.S..
Until 1966, the facility was operated by the U.S. Air Force as Larson Air Force Base. Passenger air service to and from Moses Lake ended on June 8, 2010. Overview
With 4,700 acres (1,902 ha) and a main runway 13,500 feet (4,115 m) in length, it is one of the largest airports in the United States. Moses Lake is famous for good flying weather, as it is located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains, in the semi-arid desert of central Washington state.
Grant County International Airport is an alternate landing site for the NASA Space Shuttle.
Scheduled passenger flights on Big Sky Airlines to Boise and Portland were discontinued on September 1, 2006. The service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.
The airport had been used for heavy jet training by Japan Airlines for nearly 40 years until the closing of their training offices in March, 2009.
It is also utilized by the U.S. Air Force and Boeing as a testing facility. Most of the traffic at the airport is general and military aviation.
The main campus for Big Bend Community College is also located on the grounds of the airport.
