Lincoln Airport (LNK)

Lincoln Airport (LNK) lies about 5 miles northwest of downtown Lincoln. The city chose the site for a municipal airfield in the early 1920s; it became Lincoln Army Air Field, a pilot training base, from 1939 to 1945, and Lincoln Air Force Base, a Strategic Air Command base, from 1952 until it closed in 1966. The Nebraska Air National Guard's 155th Air Refueling Wing, flying KC-135R tankers, is based there. Its main runway is 12,901 feet long. The LNK Next terminal renovation, completed in 2024, brought the terminal to six gates, and the airport handled about 262,000 passengers in 2025, with flights from United, American and Breeze.
