The Stephen A. Bean Municipal Airport, formerly known as the Rangeley Airport, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1934. Over the years, the airport has undergone several renovations and expansions, including the addition of a longer runway to accommodate larger aircraft. Named in honor of Stephen A. Bean, who operated the longest-running Air Charter Service at the airport, the Stephen A. Bean Municipal Airport continues to grow and welcome new growth, with the recent addition of hangars and a snow removal building.
With its 4,301-foot runway, the Stephen A. Bean Municipal Airport can now support small jet aircraft, making it an important transportation hub for the Rangeley area. The airport has also been awarded an $11.5 million grant to further expand the runway for emergency medical services, ensuring the safe landing and departure of LifeFlight of Maine's King Air B200 plane. As the airport continues to evolve, it remains a historic landmark and a vital part of the community's infrastructure.
