Stafford Regional Airport is a public airport located three miles (5 km) southwest of the central business district of Stafford, the county seat of Stafford County, Virginia, United States. The airport is southwest of the intersection of Route 630 and U.S. Route 1 near Interstate 95, approximately 40 mi south of Washington, D.C., and 60 mi north of Richmond. It is owned and operated by the Stafford Regional Airport Authority, an independent body of representatives from Stafford and Prince William Counties and the City of Fredericksburg. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Stafford Regional Airport is assigned RMN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned RMN to Rumginae, Papua New Guinea).

Stafford Regional Airport covers an area of 566 acre which contains one asphalt paved runway (15/33) measuring 6,000 x 100 ft (1,829 x 30 m).

Accidents

The airport was the site of a fatal accident on February 22, 2006, involving a Lancair Columbia 400 piloted by a private pilot. The pilot and three passengers were killed when the aircraft flew into trees surrounding the runway after an aborted landing attempt via ILS. Following an investigation, the NTSB cited pilot error as the most likely cause of the accident.
