## Description

Fifty miles south of downtown Chicago, hard against Interstate 57, Greater Kankakee Airport (IKK, ICAO KIKK) serves the Kankakee and northern Indiana area as a general aviation field rather than a freight gateway. Its main runway 4/22 is around 1,820 metres, with a 1,340-metre crosswind runway, which suits business jets and turboprops but not freighter operations. There are no scheduled passenger or cargo flights and no dedicated customs post for import consignments. Shippers in the region route air freight through Chicago Rockford (RFD), home to a UPS hub, or Chicago O'Hare (ORD) for the widest international freighter choice. Both are one to two hours away by truck, so Kankakee's practical value in logistics lies in road feeder movements along the I-57 corridor. Ad hoc charters carrying small time-critical shipments remain possible but exceptional.
