About Manhattan Regional Airport

Not to be confused with New York, Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) serves Manhattan, Kansas, home of Kansas State University, along with nearby Fort Riley and the Flint Hills region. The airport was dedicated in 1940 and now operates from a modern terminal.

Where Manhattan Regional Airport Sits

The airport lies about 8 km southwest of downtown Manhattan and just east of Fort Riley. That makes it a practical choice for university visitors, military families and anyone travelling to the area.

Terminal at Manhattan Regional Airport

There is a single terminal with a small number of gates. Check-in and security are quick compared with a big hub, and parking lots sit right by the building.

Airlines and Connections from Manhattan, Kansas

American Eagle, the regional brand of American Airlines, runs daily regional jet flights to two major hubs:

• Dallas/Fort Worth: connections across the US and to Latin America
• Chicago O'Hare: connections to much of the Midwest, the East Coast and beyond

Flight numbers vary by day, so check the current schedule for your dates.

Ground Transport from MHK to Manhattan

Rental cars from Hertz and Enterprise are available, and there is a taxi stand at the terminal. On-site paid parking is available for travellers who drive themselves.

Visiting Manhattan and the Flint Hills

Kansas State University is the centre of life in Manhattan, and its game days draw big crowds. Nearby, the Konza Prairie and the wider Flint Hills offer walking trails through tallgrass prairie, and Aggieville is the city's lively entertainment district.

Tips for Manhattan Regional Airport

Flights fill up around university events such as move-in, graduation and home football games, so book early for those dates. Allow enough connection time at Dallas or Chicago, particularly in winter weather.
