Dane County Regional Airport (IATA: MSN, ICAO: KMSN), also known as Truax Field, is a commercial airport located five miles (8 km) northeast of the center of Madison, in Dane County, Wisconsin, USA. It has three runways and in 2006 it served over 1.6 million passengers.
In 2006 the airport completed a $65 million expansion that doubled the size of the terminal, built in a Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced prairie style. New features include more restaurant and retail area post-security, an art court, and both business and family lounges. As has been the case in the past decade the airport will once again be adding additional parking in 2007.
The airport is home to both the Army National Guard and the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
The fixed base operator (FBO) is Wisconsin Aviation[1], which purchased the assets of the former FBO, Four Lakes Aviation, in 1994.
Truax Field was named in honor of Wisconsin-native Lieutenant Thomas L. Truax, killed in a P-40 training accident in November 1941.
