A Legacy of Private Aviation
In the early 1930s, the airport was situated on 280 acres occupied by The Normandy Water Works, on the Columbia Meadowlands. In1933, the federal government provided funds for airport improvements under the Works Project Administration. During World War II, Morristown Airport conducted an army primary flight training center. Near the conclusion of World War II, the Army returned the airport (now worth $1.5 million) to the town. In 1947, Morristown put $60,000 into the purchase and installation of hangars. Then, Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) began welcoming aviation companies to Morris County. In the summer of1969, Hanover Township, Morristown, Florham Park, and six members of the Citizens for a Smaller Morristown Airport, filed a lawsuit jointly to block the expansion of the runway and facilities to accommodate medium- and short-range jets. A judge ruled in favor of the airport. Work was done in the 1970s to extend the major runway. By 2002, there were several hundred aircraft based at MMU, including jets, helicopters, and turboprops. It is the third-busiest airport in New Jersey; only behind Newark-Liberty International Airport, and Teterboro, and now sits on 638 acres of land.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to Morristown.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
