Richard B Russell Airport

Richard B Russell Airport (KRMG) is a medium airport in Rome, GA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KRMG or IATA code RMG. It sits in North America.

Richard B Russell Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 7,010-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 7,010 ft (2,137 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.

Richard B Russell Airport sits near sea level at 644 ft.

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 currently tracks 84 departing and 61 arriving private-jet legs at KRMG across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KRMG 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.
