Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KAQX at all hours?
Fuel at Allendale County Airport, both 100LL and Jet A, is available, but after-hours fuel or service requires prior contact rather than self-service access. The field is attended daily from 0900 to 1700 local. Dispatchers planning arrivals outside that window should arrange after-hours fuel or service ahead of time. KAQX has no control tower, so all coordination outside staffed hours runs through the airport's own after-hours contact procedure.
What runway does KAQX offer for business aviation traffic?
KAQX has a single runway, 17/35, measuring 4990 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. It carries both a PAPI and MIRL, activated via CTAF since the field is non-towered. This single strip handles all fixed-wing operations at Allendale County Airport, including the bulk of its business aviation traffic.
Does KAQX have on-site customs clearance?
Allendale County Airport does not list on-site customs processing in its data. The nearest customs facility is at KSAV, located about 52 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance near KAQX should plan a stop at that airport instead, since Allendale County itself is not set up for it.
Why does business aviation traffic at KAQX vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Allendale County Airport shows a clear seasonal dip, with monthly operations falling as low as 15 in September and 19 in July compared to highs above 40 in other months, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. This pattern means dispatchers should expect lighter activity, and correspondingly more schedule flexibility, in the late summer and early fall months at KAQX.
