Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport

About

Originally home to commercial aviation, the airport now attracts a large number of corporate, charter and recreational flyers. Located on 695 acres, Kansas City Downtown Airport (code: MKC) is just across the Missouri River from Kansas City's business center. The airport also serves as an ideal refueling stop for air travelers thanks to its central geographic location. MKC can accommodate up to 700 aircraft operations per day - including single-engine propeller craft to sleek corporate jets. The facility and its control tower are open 24 hours a day. Two fixed-base operators service nearly 300 based aircraft, as well as itinerant and charter aircraft, offering fuel, full maintenance, aircraft rentals, sales and flight training.
