Morristown Regional Airport (IATA: MOR, ICAO: KMOR, FAA LID: MOR) (formerly called Moore–Murrell Airport) is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) southwest of the central business district of Morristown, a city in Hamblen County, Tennessee, United States.[1] It was opened in 1953. The manager of the airport was Evelyn Johnson until her death on May 10, 2012.
This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
