Southwest Minnesota Regional Airport or Marshall/Ryan Field (IATA: MML, ICAO: KMML) is a general aviation airport located 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the central business district of Marshall, Minnesota, United States. It is primarily a general aviation facility, though passenger air service did once exist on Midwest Aviation, also known as Lake State Airways.
