Transformation

Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), like many airports across the country, was built in the 1940s and several components of air transportation have evolved, including airfield standard requirements and security regulations. 

MRY is owned and operated by the Monterey Peninsula Airport District (MPAD) and is part of the Federal National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. MRY is a commercial service airport that accommodates both air carrier aircraft as well as general aviation (GA) aircraft. MPAD accepts Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funding to construct and maintain airport facilities, which obligates MPAD to maintain, operate, and improve their facilities in compliance with associated FAA airport grant assurances and safety regulations.
