McNary Field (IATA: SLE, ICAO: KSLE, FAA LID: SLE) (Salem-Willamette Valley Airport, formerly Salem Municipal Airport) is in Marion County, Oregon, United States, two miles southeast of downtown Salem, which owns it.[1] The airport is named for U.S. Senator Charles L. McNary.
McNary Field has had scheduled airline flights, including service on Delta Connection that ended in October 2008. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service facility based on enplanements in 2008 (more than 10,000 per year).[2] Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 15,205 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, an increase from 12,979 in 2007.[3]
The Oregon Army National Guard - Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) and charter flights also use the facilities. McNary Field is the home of the Oregon Department of Aviation.
On June 10, 2024 the Salem City Council voted to change the Airport name from Salem Municipal Airport to Salem-Willamette Valley Airport wanting to better align the location of the airport in the heart of the Willamette Valley.
