General Information About Salina Regional Airport

General information at Salina Regional Airport Salina Regional Airport is a small regional airport offering easy parking, no crowds and an unhurried atmosphere. Additionally, it serves as home for Kansas State University - Salina Flight Department as well as offering one commercial airline subsidized through Essential Air Service program.

When Schilling Air Force Base (Smoky Hill Air Force Base) closed down in 1959, Salina strived hard to find an economic benefit-retaining solution and develop an aviation education and industry complex on its site.

Today, Salina Airport Authority manages the airport and serves mostly general aviation with SkyWest Airlines offering United Express flights between Hays/Lawrence/Denver/Chicago. Kansas State University-Salina Flight Training Center offers degrees such as piloting/maintenance management/UAS systems management.

As both city and county commissions this week voted to fund a maintenance base at Salina Airport, passenger service looks bright. Tim Rogers, executive director of Salina Airport Authority, told city commissioners of an offer from Denver Air Connection for 50-seat regional jet service between Salina, Denver and Chicago.

This type of base offers communities looking for nonstop, high frequency flights a unique tool to improve air service. Rogers estimates the estimated cost at $15 million but says their community will provide $900,000 towards covering its startup costs.
