Blue Grass Airport

Blue Grass Airport (LEX) in Lexington, Kentucky opened in the 1940s and operates from a single passenger terminal that handles regional and mainline traffic, making it a compact but important gateway to central Kentucky. Serving Lexington and the Bluegrass region, LEX offers a convenient alternative to larger hubs with quick security lines and a handful of gates, and is about 6 miles from downtown Lexington with easy access by car, rental shuttles, taxis, rideshares and limited public-transit links. Generally more affordable than major hub airports, Blue Grass sees service from American, Delta and United via regional partners, plus seasonal low-cost carriers on select routes.
