Tunica Municipal Airport (IATA: UTM[3], ICAO: KUTA, FAA LID: UTA, formerly M97[4]) is a public use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Tunica, in Tunica County, Mississippi, United States.[1] It is owned by the Tunica County Airport Commission.[1] Also known as Tunica Airport,[2] it should not be confused with the 10 acre privately owned, public use Tunica Airport (FAA LID: 30M) located 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of the center of town, which has been renamed to Ralph M Sharpe Airport.[5]

As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 59,795 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[6] 64,238 enplanements in 2009, and 65,907 in 2010.[7] It has not had scheduled commercial airline passenger service since 2011. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[8]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Tunica Municipal Airport is assigned UTA by the FAA[1] and UTM by the IATA[3][9] (which assigned UTA to Mutare Airport in Mutare, Zimbabwe).[10]
