Comanche County–City Airport (ICAO: KMKN, FAA LID: MKN) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (2.3 mi, 3.7 km) northeast of the central business district of Comanche, a city in Comanche County, Texas, United States. It is owned by the City of Comanche and Comanche County.[1] The airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned MKN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned MKN to Malekolon, Papua New Guinea[4]).
