Kearney Regional Airport

Kearney Regional Airport serves as the compact air gateway to central Nebraska, established in the mid-20th century and featuring a single small passenger terminal and one main runway that handles regional jets and general aviation. The airport punches above its size by offering convenient connections—primarily United Express flights via Denver—making it a practical choice for travelers bound for Kearney, the University of Nebraska at Kearney and nearby attractions like the Archway. Located a short drive from downtown and easily accessed from I‑80 and US‑30, ground options are mostly rental car, shuttle, taxi or rideshare; fares and parking tend to be more affordable than at big hubs.
