Marion · Field elevation 472 ft · 2 runways · South Flow and North Flow
Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois is Marion's commercial gateway. Its 8,012-foot 2/20 precision runway crosses the shorter 11/29, pairing a small Essential Air Service operation with local and business aviation.
You work Marion Tower with Kansas City Center overhead. Volare regional jets connect Chicago O'Hare while N-number GA and a thin ExecJet stream fill the gaps. South flow uses 20 and north flow uses 2; 11/29 remains a visual option outside the normal flows. The cycle carries four generated approaches and no arrivals or departure procedures, so every IFR departure leaves on radar vectors.
This is the Steady tier: a light regional schedule over a GA-majority operation, with the crossing runway adding decisions without hub volume.
