Needles Airport

Needles Airport (KEED) is a medium airport in Needles, CA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KEED or IATA code EED. It sits in North America.

Needles Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,005-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,005 ft (1,526 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Needles Airport sits near sea level at 983 ft.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. 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 inventory for KEED updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Regional fields like KEED 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.

Needles Airport is a county-owned public airport in San Bernardino County, California, United States, in Needles, five miles (9 km) south of downtown.
