Burns Municipal Airport

Burns Municipal Airport (KBNO) is a medium airport in Burns, OR. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KBNO or IATA code BNO. It sits in North America.

Burns Municipal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,101-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,101 ft (1,555 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.

Burns Municipal Airport sits at 4,148 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

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 141 departing and 47 arriving private-jet legs at KBNO across the next six months of operator inventory. 5 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KBNO 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.

Burns Municipal Airport is 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Burns, in Harney County, Oregon. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.
