Dane County Regional Airport , also known as Truax Field, is a joint civil-military commercial airport located five nautical miles (9 km) northeast of the central business district of Madison, a city in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States. It has three runways and in 2006 it served over 1.6 million passengers. MSN serves Continental, Frontier, United, American, Midwest, US Airways and Delta airlines with Delta being the largest carrier with the most direct flights. These airlines offer non-stop service to major hubs through out the Midwest, East Coast and South as well as destinations such as Atlanta, Washington DC, New York City, Memphis, New Jersey and Denver.
