Distance & flight time from BYH
Arkansas International Airport
Arkansas International Airport serves Blytheville in the northeastern corner of Arkansas. The runway measures out at 254 feet in elevation, a single strip handling operations here. Coded BYH, the airport sits in Mississippi County, close to the borders with Missouri and Tennessee, giving it a location shaped by the wider Mississippi Delta region. The field supports general aviation and limited commercial activity for a part of Arkansas nearer to Memphis than to the state's own larger cities. Blytheville's flat delta surroundings are typical of northeastern Arkansas, an agricultural area historically built around cotton and, more recently, steel production, and BYH remains this stretch of Mississippi County's main link by air.
