Baker City Municipal Airport

Baker City Municipal Airport (KBKE) is a medium airport in Baker City, OR. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KBKE or IATA code BKE. It sits in North America.

Baker City Municipal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,084-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,084 ft (1,550 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Baker City Municipal Airport lies at 3,373 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 162 departing and 50 arriving private-jet legs at KBKE across the next six months of operator inventory. 6 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KBKE are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

Baker City Municipal Airport is three miles north of Baker City, in Baker County, Oregon, United States. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.
