Long Island MacArthur Airport (also known as Islip Airport) (IATA: ISP, ICAO: KISP, FAA LID: ISP) is a public airport on Long Island, in Ronkonkoma, Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York. The Town owns and operates the airport, which serves about two million commercial passengers a year, as well as general aviation. Long Island MacArthur Airport (LIMA) covers 1,311 acres (531 ha) and has four runways and two helipads.
Located between Montauk Point 72 miles (116 km) to the east and Manhattan 60 miles (97 km) to the west, MacArthur Airport serves the suburban Nassau and Suffolk counties as an alternative to the JFK and LaGuardia airports – both in the borough of Queens in New York City. Shuttle buses connect the airport to the Ronkonkoma Railroad Station.
The FAA designated LIMA an Official Metro Airport in early 2011, meaning it is now grouped with LaGuardia, JFK and Newark in travel and informational searches for New York airports, providing better exposure to the traveling public. MacArthur Airport, which does not share the congested air space of the city-centric airports, has an exceptional record of on-time performance. During 2009 83.6% of flights arrived on time and 85.6% of flights departed on time.
During 2007 the airport served more than 2.3 million commercial passengers. In 2007 the airport had 182,142 aircraft operations, an average of 499 per day; 80 percent general aviation; 15 percent scheduled commercial; five percent air taxi and about one percent military. 243 aircraft are based at the airport: 63% single-engine; 10% multi-engine; 19% jet aircraft; seven percent helicopters; and less than one percent military. The Town-owned Foreign Trade Zone is next to airport property.
