Mc Alester Regional Airport

Mc Alester Regional Airport (KMLC) is a medium airport in Mc Alester, OK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KMLC or IATA code MLC. It sits in North America.

Mc Alester Regional Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,602-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,602 ft (1,707 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.

Mc Alester Regional Airport sits near sea level at 770 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 67 departing and 99 arriving private-jet legs at KMLC 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 KMLC 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.

McAlester Regional Airport is in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, three miles (5 km) southwest of McAlester, which owns it. The airport has no scheduled airline flights. Ground services are provided by Brenair Aviation Services. In 1938 McAlester had an airport, probably just north of the present one. After a 4000-ft paved runway opened in 1950-52 on the present site, McAlester Airport began receiving scheduled commercial airline service.
