About MPE

Founded in the 1960s, Philadelphia Municipal Airport (KMPE) has grown from a grass airstrip into an important gateway to Philadelphia and Neshoba County, Mississippi. The runway was paved as the airport developed, then extended to 5,000 feet in the early 2000s to better serve the community and visiting aircraft.
 

Today, KMPE welcomes pilots and passengers with a comfortable FBO, friendly hospitality, and convenient access to Jet-A+ and 100LL aviation fuel. Whether you’re stopping to refuel, visiting on business, or spending a weekend exploring the area, our airport offers a welcoming place to arrive and unwind.
 

Beyond the ramp, discover a destination rich in entertainment, history, and outdoor recreation. Philadelphia and Neshoba County are home to renowned resorts and golf courses, museums, recreational parks, celebrated fairs, and more. From a relaxing getaway to a family adventure, there’s plenty to experience just a short drive from the airport.
