Yakima Air Terminal McAllister Field

Yakima Air Terminal McAllister Field (KYKM) is a medium airport in Yakima, WA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KYKM or IATA code YKM. It sits in North America.

Yakima Air Terminal McAllister Field is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 7,604 ft (2,318 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.

Yakima Air Terminal McAllister Field lies at 1,099 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 188 departing and 18 arriving private-jet legs at KYKM 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 KYKM 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.
