Burnet Municipal Airport (ICAO: KBMQ, FAA LID: BMQ), also known as Kate Craddock Field, is a city-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) southwest of the central business district of Burnet, a city in Burnet County, Texas, United States.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BMQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned BMQ to Bamburi, Kenya[3]).
