WELCOME TO BARKLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT 

OUR PAST

After Sen. Alben Barkley helped the War Department to create the airport in 1941, we spent our first 5 years helping B-17 Bomber crews train for missions overseas before becoming a commercial airport in 1945.

OUR PRESENT

The first flight took place in 1946 and we have provided airline service for over 77 years. Currently, we have twice daily jet service to Charlotte, NC on Contour Airlines giving our region 1-stop access to the world.

OUR FUTURE

After 69 years, construction is set to start on a brand new, attractive and modern terminal that is set to open in 2023. It is just the first step for our next 80 years of growth both on the airport and throughout our region.
