Danville Regional Airport

Danville Regional Airport (KDAN) is a medium airport in Danville, VA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KDAN or IATA code DAN. It sits in North America.

Danville Regional Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,900-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,900 ft (1,798 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.

Danville Regional Airport sits near sea level at 571 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. 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 103 departing and 226 arriving private-jet legs at KDAN 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 KDAN 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.

Danville Regional Airport is three miles east of Danville, in southern Virginia. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a regional general aviation facility.
