New Century AirCenter Airport (JCI/KIXD) is a public general-aviation reliever airport in New Century, Kansas, about 20 miles southwest of Kansas City. It occupies the former Naval Air Station Olathe site and now supports business aviation, flight training, and an adjacent industrial park. The airport has paved runways and full general-aviation services but no scheduled airline flights.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm the FBO or hangar address before arrival because the airport sits within a large industrial park and GPS can route you to a different gate. Also expect weekend student-pilot and skydiving traffic, so allow extra time for taxi and pattern sequencing.
🚖 Getting There
There is no scheduled public transit to the airport, so most travelers arrive by car, taxi, or rideshare. From downtown Kansas City, take I-35 south toward New Century and follow local signs to New Century Parkway; the drive is typically 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. Rental car options may be limited, so arrange one in advance if you need a vehicle.
