Chan Gurney Municipal Airport is a regional airport located three miles north of Yankton, in Yankton County, South Dakota. It is named for John Chandler Gurney, a native of Yankton who was a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War I and later became a member of the United States Senate.
North Central began Douglas DC-3 flights to Yankton in 1957–1958; successor Republic left about 1982 and Yankton dropped out of the OAG in 1989–1990. AAA Airlines also served Yankton with non-stop flights to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and to Norfolk, Nebraska. In April 2001, United Express dropped its flight to Denver.[1] [2]
The airport covers 458acres and has two runways.[3]
