Burley Municipal Airport (BYI/KBYI) is a city-owned public-use airport serving Burley and Idaho’s Magic Valley. Located just north of downtown Burley, it primarily supports general aviation, flight training, and recreational flying, with no scheduled commercial airline service. The field sits at about 4,150 feet MSL and offers paved runways, self-service fuel, and a convenient stop for pilots traveling through southern Idaho.
💡 Local Tip
On hot summer afternoons, plan for high-density altitude: the field elevation is about 4,150 feet, so takeoff rolls are longer and climb rates are lower than at sea level.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown Burley, so a rental car or private vehicle is the most practical way to arrive and depart. From I-84, follow local signs to the airport; rideshare and taxi availability can be limited, especially outside business hours. If you need a rental car, arrange it in advance through a Burley agency rather than relying on on-airport counters.
