MRB Airport (Eastern WV Regional Airport/Shepherd Field) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

The codes MRB and KMRB belong to Eastern WV Regional Airport / Shepherd Field at Martinsburg, West Virginia, a civilian-owned, joint-use field best known as home to the West Virginia Air National Guard's 167th Airlift Wing. Stationed here since 1955, the wing flies C-17 Globemaster III transports on global military airlift missions, while the civil side carries no scheduled passenger or scheduled freight service. What matters to importers is the site itself: MRB holds West Virginia's only on-airport Foreign-Trade Zone, with more than 160 acres of developable land where goods can be stored and processed under duty-deferred status, and it lies roughly 37 flight miles from Washington Dulles. No scheduled commercial air cargo is handled today; time-critical shipments from the eastern panhandle route through Dulles (IAD), about 75 miles southeast, or Baltimore/Washington (BWI). Airport management is courting cargo operators and advancing taxiway extension work, but until a carrier commits, MRB's freight role stays limited for forwarders. Interstate 81 keeps Martinsburg well tied into the trucking corridors between the US Northeast and South.
