Cobb County International Airport-McCollum Field

KRYY is a reliever airport for the Atlanta metro, purpose-built for general and business aviation. There are no airline operations, no TSA queues, and no terminal crowds. Passengers drive to the FBO, board, and go. The runway is approximately 6,300 feet, which accommodates most midsize jets and below. Larger heavy-cabin aircraft should confirm performance data with their operator before booking into KRYY.

The airport sits at roughly 1,040 feet elevation in the rolling terrain of northwest Cobb County. Operations are generally straightforward, without the slot restrictions or surface congestion you find at Hartsfield-Jackson or even PDK during busy periods. If your destination is the northwest Atlanta suburbs, Cobb County, or Cherokee County, KRYY is almost always the right choice over the busier metro alternatives.

Downtown Atlanta is about 25 miles southeast, typically a 35 to 50 minute drive depending on I-75 and I-285 conditions. Buckhead is roughly 20 miles and 30 to 40 minutes. The Battery Atlanta at Truist Park is about 12 miles south on I-75, usually 15 to 20 minutes outside peak hours. Marietta Square is under 6 miles from the field.

Car service is the standard option. Ground transportation from the airport to most northwest suburbs takes under 20 minutes. Rideshare pickup is available at the FBO, though pre-arranged car service is more reliable for arrivals.
