Monmouth Executive Airport (IATA: BLM[2], ICAO: KBLM, FAA LID: BLM) is a privately owned, public use airport in Monmouth County, New Jersey.[1] It is in Wall Township six miles west of Belmar (which its codes are derived from), east of Farmingdale.[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport. Prior to 2003, it was known as Allaire Airport.[3] The airport was sold on December 3, 2013 to a consortium known as Wall Aviation.[4] The new owners intend to evict current renters and upgrade the facility to serve corporate clients.[5]
In an analysis by the Regional Plan Association in 2011, Monmouth Executive scored highly as a potential airport for airline flights to expand capacity and relieve aviation congestion in the New York area.[6]

The NTSB accident report indicated that the pilot made an abrupt maneuver while exceeding the operating limitations of the aircraft which caused a structural failure of the right wing.[7]
