Burley Municipal Airport

Burley Municipal Airport (KBYI) is a medium airport in Burley, ID. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KBYI or IATA code BYI. It sits in North America.

Burley Municipal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 4,092-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 4,092 ft (1,247 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.

Burley Municipal Airport sits at 4,150 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/Boise. 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 88 departing and 36 arriving private-jet legs at KBYI across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KBYI 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.

Burley Municipal Airport is a municipal airport in Burley, Idaho. The airport was rededicated as Burley J R Jack Simplot Airport in October 2002, honoring J. R. "Jack" Simplot.
