Brunswick Executive Airport (NHZ/KBXM) occupies the site of the former Naval Air Station Brunswick, a U.S. Navy installation that operated from 1952 until its closure in 2011. The facility was redeveloped as a civilian airport and business park on the scenic midcoast Maine peninsula along the Androscoggin River. Its unusually long runways—remnants of its military past—make it one of the largest general aviation airfields in Maine and capable of handling larger business jets than most regional airports.
