Frequently asked questions
Does KSUZ have customs available onsite?
Saline County Regional does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KLIT, approximately 15.1 nautical miles away. Crews planning international arrivals into KSUZ need to coordinate clearance through that airport instead. This distance is short enough for a quick repositioning leg but should still be factored into scheduling. No customs officer or CANPASS arrangement is listed for Saline County Regional itself.
What runway does KSUZ offer for business aviation arrivals?
Saline County Regional has a single runway, 02/20, measuring 5,002 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates most light and midsize business jets under typical conditions. The airport has no control tower, so operations run on a CTAF basis. Pilots should activate REIL on both Runway 02 and Runway 20 and MIRL for the full 02/20 strip through the common frequency, since lighting is pilot-controlled rather than continuously staffed.
What fuel is available at KSUZ and when?
Saline County Regional stocks 100LL and Jet A fuel, listed in the data as A+ grade. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours a day using a credit card, which supports operations outside the staffed attendance window. The airport's attendance schedule runs Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1630 local time. Outside those hours, a courtesy car is available, and after-hours arrivals needing terminal building access should contact the airport manager for the entry code.
How busy is Saline County Regional Airport, and is traffic seasonal?
Saline County Regional recorded 2,006 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 1,331 of those classified as business aviation. Traffic is not spread evenly through the year; September stands out as the busiest month with 173 business aviation operations, followed by October at 156. The slowest months are February and January, with 62 and 73 operations respectively. This pattern places the airport's ops tier at 1, reflecting a well-documented traffic profile despite the seasonal swing.
Who handles clearance delivery for aircraft at KSUZ?
Saline County Regional has no control tower onsite, so clearance delivery is handled remotely. Pilots should contact Little Rock Approach or Little Rock ATCT for CD services when operating to or from KSUZ. This arrangement is typical for non-towered fields located near a larger controlled airport, in this case Bill and Hillary Clinton National, roughly 15 nautical miles away. Dispatchers should build in this coordination step when planning IFR departures or arrivals at Saline County Regional.
