## Description

Named after US Senator John Chandler "Chan" Gurney, a Yankton native, this general-aviation field (YKN/KYKN) lies about five kilometres north of the town on the Missouri River in southeastern South Dakota. Its main runway 13/31 stretches 1,857 metres, backed by a shorter crosswind strip, and the airport offers flight training, maintenance, hangars and fuel (100LL/JetA) but no scheduled or cargo service. Air freight for the area is handled at Sioux Falls (FSD, about 90 km northeast) or Sioux City (SUX, Iowa, roughly 95 km southeast). For shippers around Yankton, those are the nearest genuine cargo options.
