Rugby Municipal Airport (ICAO: KRUG, FAA LID: RUG) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northwest of the central business district of Rugby, a city in Pierce County, North Dakota, United States. It is owned by the Rugby Airport Authority.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned RUG by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned RUG to Rugao Air Base in Rugao, China).[4][5]
