Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KALI?
Alice International (KALI) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 13/31 is the longer of the two at 5,997 feet by 100 feet wide, and it also serves as the airport's max paved runway length. Runway 17/35 measures 4,490 feet by 100 feet, also asphalt. Both runways support fixed-wing traffic typical of the airport's general aviation and business aircraft mix. Neither runway is currently listed with weight restrictions in the airport data.
Is KALI a towered airport?
Alice International (KALI) is a non-towered airport, so pilots coordinate using the common traffic advisory frequency rather than air traffic control instructions from a local tower. Lighting activation for the MALS on runway 31, REILS on runway 13, and PAPI on runways 17 and 35 is pilot-controlled via CTAF. Runway edge lighting on both runway pairs is preset to low intensity from dusk until 2300 local, after which pilots can increase intensity or activate lighting through CTAF. For clearance delivery issues when FSS frequency contact fails, pilots are directed to contact Houston ARTCC.
Does Alice International have customs clearance onsite?
Alice International (KALI) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at Corpus Christi (KCRP), located approximately 27.93 nautical miles away. Operators requiring international arrival clearance need to route through KCRP or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at Alice. This distance is short enough to factor into routine flight planning for inbound international flights needing to touch a customs port first.
What fuel is available at KALI?
Alice International (KALI) stocks both Jet A and 100LL avgas. The 100LL is available 24 hours a day at a self-service pump, giving pilots access outside the airport's staffed attendance hours. The general attendance schedule at the field runs 0800 to 1700 daily. Jet A availability is confirmed in the airport's fuel type data, though its specific service hours are not detailed beyond the general attendance window.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at Alice International?
Business aviation traffic at Alice International (KALI) peaks in the fall, according to FAA TFMSC data covering cross-border and tracked operations for 2025. October recorded the highest monthly count at 96 operations, followed by November at 84 and December at 73. This compares to quieter months like July, which saw only 27 operations. Total annual business aviation operations at KALI reached 663 out of 2,968 total operations for the year.
