Lee Bird Field

Lee Bird Field (LBF) in North Platte, Nebraska, opened in the 1930s and is a compact regional airport with a single small terminal serving general aviation, air taxi and occasional commercial flights; it’s an important local gateway for central Nebraska rather than a major hub. Located a short drive from downtown North Platte via US Highway 30 and accessible by local taxis and regional shuttle services, the airport offers quick check‑ins and easy parking. Travelers should note limited airline competition can make fares higher than at big hubs, though airport fees and ground access tend to be budget‑friendly; it does not serve as a hub for major carriers.
