About Key Field / Meridian Regional Airport
Overview
Key Field / Meridian Regional Airport serves the Meridian, Mississippi metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport situated at 297 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 32.332600, -88.751900, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its two asphalt runways offer substantial landing options for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMEI demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating at 66.2% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 6.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 35°C, with September, October, and November presenting the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a primary 10,003-foot runway (01/19) and a secondary 4,599-foot runway (04/22). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components of 2.6 and 3.6 knots respectively. The relatively flat terrain and moderate elevation contribute to predictable approach and landing characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 8.7 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions including 4.7% of observations below 3 miles and 10.2% experiencing fog. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, particularly during periods of reduced visibility. The consistent wind patterns and substantial runway length provide flexible approach options for most aircraft categories.
