Waseca Municipal Airport (ICAO: KACQ, FAA LID: ACQ) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) west of the central business district of Waseca, in Waseca County, Minnesota, United States. It is owned by the City of Waseca.[1]

Waseca's first airport was located south of the city and was built in the 1930s. This airport was sold to a private owner and eventually closed. The current airport is two miles west of the city and opened in 1969 with a turf runway and an aircraft parking apron. The Arrivals and Departures building was opened in 1972. The runway was paved and lighted in 1975.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Waseca Municipal Airport is assigned ACQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
