Brunswick Executive Airport (NHZ/KBXM) is a public general aviation airport in Brunswick, Maine, built on the former Naval Air Station Brunswick. After the Navy base closed in 2011, the site was redeveloped as Brunswick Landing, a mixed-use aviation and business park. The airport now supports private, business, and transient aircraft with FBO services, hangars, and maintenance, but no scheduled airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors use the main entrance off Admiral Fitch Avenue because GPS may route to old Navy gates; also check for events at Brunswick Landing, which can affect parking and traffic.

By car, access is typically via I-295 exit 28 or Route 1 to Admiral Fitch Avenue, following signs into Brunswick Landing. Amtrak's Downeaster stops at Brunswick Station, a short taxi or rideshare ride from the airport.
