Dobbins Air Reserve Base

Dobbins Air Reserve Base (KMGE) is a medium airport in Marietta, GA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KMGE or IATA code MGE. It sits in North America.

Dobbins Air Reserve Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 10,002-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 10,002 ft (3,049 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Dobbins Air Reserve Base lies at 1,068 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for KMGE updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Regional fields like KMGE are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
