The Landing Zone: Bringing Aviation & Great Food Together
Come to the Jefferson City Memorial Airport & Visit Our Community Staple for First-Class Service
The Landing Zone sits on a site with deep local roots. The original airport terminal, built in 1966, was home to Tremain’s Airport Café — a longtime staple that served the community through decades and even multiple major floods.
After the 2019 flood, the original structure was lost, and a new facility was built to serve as a modern hub for aviation, dining, and community gathering.
The Landing Zone opened in 2021, continuing the tradition of great food at the airport. Today, it’s proudly operated by a local hospitality group focused on creating a welcoming, everyday destination for both travelers and the Jefferson City community.
