Long Island MacArthur Airport (formerly known as Islip Airport) is a public airport in Ronkonkoma, New York on Long Island. The Town of Islip owns and operates the airport, which serves about two million commercial passengers a year, as well as general aviation. Long Island MacArthur Airport (LIMA) covers 1,311 acres (531 ha) and has four runways and two helipads. Located between Montauk Point, which is 72 miles (116 km) to the east, and Manhattan, which is 60 miles (97 km) to the west, MacArthur Airport serves the suburban Nassau and Suffolk counties as an alternative to the JFK and LaGuardia airports – both in the borough of Queens in New York City. Shuttle buses connect the airport to the Ronkonkoma Railroad Station. The FAA designated LIMA an Official Metro Airport in early 2011, meaning it is now grouped with LaGuardia, JFK and Newark in travel and informational searches for New York airports, providing better exposure to the traveling public. MacArthur Airport, which does not share the congested airspace of the city-centric airports, has an exceptional record of on-time performance. During 2009, 83.6% of flights arrived on time and 85.6% of flights departed on time.

Sometimes referred to as KISP - its ICAO code - on private jet quotes, for example, it can also be called ISP - its IATA code name. Both these shorthands are used by aircrafts to refer to the airport.
