Smyrna Rutherford County (MQY) Airport Car Service

MQY (Smyrna Rutherford County Airport, located on the site of the former Sewart Air Force Base which closed in 1971) sits in Smyrna in Rutherford County, Tennessee about 20 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, accessible via Interstate 24 and Sam Davis Road. The airport is owned and operated by the Town of Smyrna and serves as a major general aviation and corporate charter airport for the Nashville metropolitan area. There is no scheduled commercial service. MQY's long 8,038 foot main runway inherited from the SAC bomber era makes it one of the busiest GA airports in Tennessee. Our chauffeurs stage at the terminal area for charter and FBO pickups.

MQY to downtown Smyrna runs about 5 to 10 minutes via Sam Davis Road, and MQY to downtown Murfreesboro (the Rutherford County seat and home of Middle Tennessee State University) runs about 20 to 25 minutes via Interstate 24 southbound.
