Small general aviation gateway to the Hamptons' eastern tip.

Location
Montauk, United States
Montauk Airport (IATA: MTP, ICAO: KMTP) is a small general aviation airport located in Montauk, New York, at the eastern end of Long Island.

The airport sits close to Montauk Point and is operated primarily to accommodate the influx of seasonal traffic from wealthy vacationers and private aircraft during the summer months. It does not handle scheduled commercial airline service.
