Kickapoo Downtown Airport (KIP/KCWC) is a public-use general aviation airport owned by the City of Wichita Falls, Texas. Located just south of downtown, it serves private pilots, flight training, and business aircraft as a convenient reliever to Wichita Falls Municipal Airport. The field features a single asphalt runway and on-site FBO services in a compact, easy-to-navigate setting.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call ahead for after-hours gate and fuel access—Kickapoo is a quiet reliever field, and staffing may be limited outside normal business hours.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about a 5- to 10-minute drive from downtown Wichita Falls via US-281 or Jacksboro Highway, making a car or rideshare the most practical option. Public transit does not serve the airport directly, and rideshare availability can be sparse, so arrange your return trip in advance. If you are based or transient, confirm parking and after-hours gate access with the FBO before you arrive.
