Mission Field

Mission Field (KLVM) is a medium airport in Livingston, MT. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KLVM or IATA code LVM. It sits in North America.

Mission Field is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,701-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,701 ft (1,738 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.

Mission Field sits at 4,660 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/Denver. 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 164 departing and 154 arriving private-jet legs at KLVM 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 KLVM 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.

Mission Field is a public use airport located five nautical miles east of the central business district of Livingston, a city in Park County, Montana, United States. It is owned by the city and county. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
