Johnson County GA — Kansas City Southern Suburbs

New Century AirCenter (KIXD) sits in the open terrain of Johnson County approximately 20 miles south of downtown Kansas City, outside the Class B airspace that surrounds Kansas City International (KMCI). This positioning gives KIXD pilots relatively unencumbered access to the practice area and cross-country routing without constant ATC interaction, while still being within easy range of the full Kansas City metro. The Kansas/Missouri flatlands provide excellent VFR flying, and the Kansas River (Kaw River) and Missouri River offer navigation landmarks. Johnson County's affluent suburban population generates demand for quality GA facilities, and KIXD has developed accordingly into a premier suburban airport. Many Overland Park and Olathe residents base aircraft at KIXD, and the airport serves as a regional hub for business aviation connecting the Kansas City area to destinations throughout the Midwest and beyond. The Spirit Aerosystems and Garmin (headquartered in Olathe) presence in the region reflects the area's aerospace industry connections.
