Greater Kankakee Airport

Greater Kankakee Airport (KIKK) is a medium airport in Kankakee, IL. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KIKK or IATA code IKK. It sits in North America.

Greater Kankakee Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,981-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,981 ft (1,823 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.

Greater Kankakee Airport sits near sea level at 630 ft.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. 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 228 departing and 140 arriving private-jet legs at KIKK across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KIKK 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.
