Kansas City for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

Kansas City is a business travel market served by two airports with customs. MCI is a customs landing rights airport with a continuously staffed tower, and the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (MKC), just north of downtown across the Missouri River, handles business jets and has U.S. Customs.

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from MCI. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

Picks from the numbers

Each card says how it was chosen. Estimates are one way, on the jet size each trip calls for.

Cost against time

Every route from Kansas City, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

One-way estimates for 213 routes from Kansas City. Each dot is the middle of a route's range on the jet size it calls for. The gold line is CRAFT's super-midsize card at $12,950/hr (fuel and FET included), billed at least 2 hours a day: compare it with the super-midsize dots, not with smaller jets.

Range

How far a private jet flies nonstop from Kansas City

Practical ranges we assume: light 1,700 nm, midsize 2,000, super-midsize 3,000, large 4,000. Conservative on purpose; payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

Where do private jets fly from in Kansas City?

We price Kansas City from MCI (Kansas City International Airport). The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Kansas City?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 181 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Managua; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 192 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Panama City; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 208 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Trinidad; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 213 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Kauai. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Kansas City?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 181 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (3h 15m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (3h 10m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (5h 00m, nonstop in a super-midsize jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Is there a private jet airport closer to downtown Kansas City than MCI?

Yes. Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (MKC) sits immediately north of downtown across the Missouri River and serves general and business aviation, including corporate jets.
