About Greater Kankakee Airport

Greater Kankakee Airport is a public-use general aviation airport serving Kankakee, Kankakee County and the southern suburbs of Chicago. Opened in 1962, it is owned and operated by the Kankakee Valley Airport Authority and supports private, business and corporate flying for the region.

It has no control tower and no scheduled airline passenger service.

The airport's fixed-base operator provides fuel, hangar and tiedown parking, a pilot lounge, conference facilities, Wi-Fi, aircraft rental, flight instruction and minor maintenance, making it a practical base for general aviation activity.
