Nebraska provides extensive highway and rail corridors to both coasts, plus access to the Gulf of Mexico from ports on the Missouri River. Many Midwestern cities are within 24 hours shipping time and no major city is more than four hours by air, four days by truck, or five days by rail. Nebraska manufacturers ship everything from auto parts to electronics throughout the world.

The means of getting to and from our community are key factors, just as location is a major asset. The proximity of Interstate 80, the busiest east-west highway in the country, and access to U.S. Highway 30 and Nebraska highways 10 and 44 make it convenient to travel to Kearney by automobile and truck.

Facilities at the Kearney Municipal Airport include two paved and lighted runways, pilots lounge, aircraft maintenance and repair, refueling, pilot training, charter, air ambulance, agriculture crop spraying, hangar storage, tie down, and other services.
