Kearney Regional Airport Now Landing Larger Aircraft

On January 3, the Federal Aviation Administration approved an upgrade in the status of the Kearney Regional Airport from a Class III to a Class II. The class status of an airport sets limits on the size and frequency of planes that may land. Now, as a Class II airport, planes with 31 seats or more may land at the airport. The Class status change is part of a long term strategy for improving the Kearney Regional Airport and positioning it to better serve the community and central Nebraska for business and leisure travelers and economic development. If you have questions regarding chartering a flight out of Kearney, please contact Airport Manager Jim Lynaugh at 308-234-2318.
