KWRL is the ICAO code for Worland Municipal Airport (IATA WRL), located in Worland, WY.
Worland Municipal Airport (KWRL) is a medium airport in Worland, WY. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KWRL or IATA code WRL. It sits in North America.
Worland Municipal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 7,000-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 7,000 ft (2,134 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.
Worland Municipal Airport sits at 4,227 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 84 departing and 52 arriving private-jet legs at KWRL across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
Regional fields like KWRL 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.
Worland Municipal Airport is in Washakie County, Wyoming, three miles south of Worland, which owns it. It was built in 1953. It has no scheduled airline service; Great Lakes Airlines pulled out on September 30, 2016.
