Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport (LMT)

Crater Lake–Klamath Regional Airport (LMT), identified by its ICAO code KLMT, is a significant joint civil-military aviation facility located approximately five miles southeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The airport features a single, compact passenger terminal building that was designed to handle domestic commercial traffic. While the facility currently lacks scheduled commercial airline services as of 2025, the terminal remains a vital center for general aviation, specialized charters, and administrative operations for the regional aviation community. The terminal infrastructure provides a professional and intuitive environment, housing essential services including check-in counters and a spacious waiting lounge. Although commercial passenger processing is inactive, the facility offers basic amenities such as clean restrooms, vending machines for refreshments, and a dedicated pilot lounge for flight crews. The airport shares its grounds with Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base, providing travelers with a unique vantage point to observe military flight operations, including the F-15 and F-35 fighter wings. Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) services, such as fueling and maintenance, are provided by specialized local companies like Century Aviation. Ground transportation to and from the LMT terminal is well-facilitated, with ample on-site short-term and long-term parking available directly in front of the building. Local taxi and ride-sharing services provide convenient links to downtown Klamath Falls, while car rental arrangements can be coordinated with advanced notice. The airfield features two primary asphalt runways, including the significant 10,301-foot Runway 14/32, capable of accommodating large military and civilian aircraft. For travelers seeking scheduled commercial airline connections, Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport (MFR) remains the primary hub, located approximately 70 miles to the west. The facility serves as an essential gateway for those exploring Crater Lake National Park and the surrounding High Desert region.
