## Description

MPV and KMPV are the codes to quote for Edward F. Knapp State Airport, the field at Berlin, Vermont that serves Barre and the state capital Montpelier. Owned by the State of Vermont and operated by its Agency of Transportation, it opened in 1929 and works two asphalt runways of 1,525 m (17/35) and 914 m (5/23). There are no scheduled passenger or freighter services: traffic consists of general aviation, corporate flights, flight training and ad-hoc charter handled by the resident fixed-base operator. No customs office sits on the field, so international air freight for central Vermont clears at the port of entry at Patrick Leahy Burlington International (BTV), roughly 60 road kilometres north-west along Interstate 89. Practical routings therefore begin with a road feeder leg to Burlington for domestic and express traffic, or to Boston Logan (BOS) some 290 km south-east for intercontinental capacity. VTrans is currently developing the north-east taxiway and hangar area, and the airport master plan sets out further apron and hangar expansion. Treat MPV as a business-aviation and training field with truck-fed access to air freight, not as a cargo airport.
