Ride the Ramp Program
One mile of roadway will only take you one mile. One mile of runway can take you around the world!

About the Airport
The airport was founded in 1928 as Krueger Field. In 1942, the airport was leased to the United States Navy and in 1943 it was renamed to Witham Field after Martin County native Paul “Homer” Witham.
Today the airport is a thriving hub for commerce in Martin County and the South Florida region, creating an economic impact of over $784 million annually.
