## Description

The Mason jar built this town: the Ball Brothers moved their glass works to Muncie in 1887 to tap Indiana's natural gas boom, and their name lives on in Ball State University. Delaware County Regional Airport at Johnson Field (IATA: MIE, ICAO: KMIE) now serves general aviation, corporate flying and training; there is no airline service and no commercial freight handling. Two runways of about 6,500 and 5,198 feet, ILS and RNAV approaches and both Jet A and 100LL fuel support business-jet and urgent charter movements, but the field has no customs service and no air-cargo warehousing. Air freight for east-central Indiana therefore routes through Indianapolis (IND) – home to the second-largest FedEx Express hub worldwide – or Fort Wayne (FWA), each about an hour away via I-69 and State Road 32. For automotive suppliers and university shippers around Muncie that means road pre-carriage, customs clearance in Indianapolis and departure from IND. Sociologists once studied Muncie as "Middletown", the archetypal American city; its airport is fittingly unassuming.
