## Description

SkyWest, flying as United Express, gives Kearney Regional Airport (IATA: EAR, ICAO: KEAR) its only scheduled link: daily Essential Air Service to Denver (DEN) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) on 50-seat regional jets. The field sits on Interstate 80 in Nebraska's Platte River valley, the corridor the Oregon Trail, Pony Express and first transcontinental railroad all followed west, celebrated by The Great Platte River Road Archway museum spanning the highway. It runs no dedicated freight operation; air cargo for the region trucks about 185 miles east to Omaha Eppley (OMA), home to a FedEx air center, Amazon Air and Foreign-Trade Zone 19. Home to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the airport moves students and business travelers, while the valley's tonnage stays on rail and road.
