Located just 3 miles southeast of downtown Deming at 4,315 ft elevation in the heart of southern New Mexico’s high-desert Chihuahuan landscape, Deming Municipal Airport (KDMN) is a pilot-friendly reliever with two long paved runways, 24-hour self-serve fuel, and easy access to I-10. Serving as a key stop for cross-country GA pilots, corporate jets, and seasonal snowbirds, it offers low traffic, year-round VFR weather, and quick flights to Las Cruces, Silver City, or the Gila Wilderness—perfect for backcountry adventurers, warbird fly-ins, and affordable hangar space in sunny Luna County.

Brief History
Opened in 1941 as a WWII Army Air Forces training field, KDMN trained hundreds of pilots before transitioning to civilian use in 1946. Known locally as “Deming Army Air Field,” it once hosted B-25 Mitchell bombers. Today, the airport preserves its military heritage while supporting modern GA, medical flights, and the annual Deming Duck Races fly-in.
