About Jefferson Municipal Airport

Jefferson Municipal Airport is a public-use general aviation airport serving Jefferson, the county seat of Greene County in central Iowa. Owned by the City of Jefferson and activated in 1950, it supports private, business, and agricultural aviation for the surrounding region.

Located about 2 miles east of downtown Jefferson, the airport provides a convenient entry point for pilots and travelers visiting Greene County and nearby communities. The airfield has two runways: a 4,100-foot concrete runway (14/32) and a 1,696-foot turf runway (18/36), along with services such as 100LL aviation fuel and aircraft parking.

The airport is just off US Highway 30, placing Jefferson, Boone, Carroll, Fort Dodge, Ames, and the wider Des Moines area within practical driving reach. Jefferson Municipal Airport does not operate scheduled commercial airline service, so most travelers arrive by private or chartered aircraft and continue by car, taxi, or arranged pickup.

As a general aviation facility, EFW is focused on pilot and aircraft needs rather than large passenger terminals. Visitors can use the terminal area, fuel service, and hangar or tie-down parking, with local road connections to Jefferson and surrounding towns.
