Range Regional Airport

Range Regional Airport (KHIB) is a medium airport in Hibbing, MN. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KHIB or IATA code HIB. It sits in North America.

Range Regional Airport 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 6,758 ft (2,060 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.

Range Regional Airport lies at 1,354 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. 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 110 departing and 98 arriving private-jet legs at KHIB across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KHIB 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.

Range Regional Airport is a public use airport located four nautical miles southeast of the central business district of Hibbing, in Saint Louis County, Minnesota, United States. It was formerly known as Chisholm-Hibbing Airport or Chisholm-Hibbing Municipal Airport. The airport is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by one commercial and one charter airline. Scheduled passenger service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.
