## Description

The code BKE (ICAO KBKE) belongs to a general aviation field about five kilometres north of Baker City, Oregon, which has had no scheduled airline service since 1973 and no dedicated cargo facilities. Its main runway 13/31 measures 5,085 by 100 feet (roughly 1,550 m), the second strip 17/35 runs 4,359 feet, and runway 8/26 is closed indefinitely. At 3,373 feet elevation, summer density altitude is a real factor in performance planning for operators. Air freight for Baker County therefore enters through Boise (BOI), around 200 km east, or Portland (PDX), some 500 km west, and completes the final leg by road feeder service. Customs clearance, dangerous goods acceptance and freighter operations are not confirmed at BKE and should be planned at the gateway airport instead. Business, charter and private flying, together with fuel and hangar services, make up the traffic on site. For shippers, BKE is best treated as a trucking destination rather than an air cargo entry point.
