Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KCXW?
Conway Regional does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at KLIT, located about 24 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to plan clearance through Little Rock rather than at Conway Regional itself. This distance is short enough for a quick repositioning leg but should be built into trip planning ahead of arrival. Coordinate with the customs office at KLIT directly for arrival requirements.
What runway does KCXW offer for business aviation traffic?
Conway Regional has a single runway, 04/22, measuring 5,500 feet long and 100 feet wide with a concrete surface. This length accommodates most light and midsize business jets operating into the field. The airport has no control tower, so pilots operate under non-towered procedures with CTAF for coordination. Runway lighting including REIL, PAPI, and MIRL on both 4 and 22 is pilot-activated via CTAF rather than continuously operating.
What fuel is available at Conway Regional Airport?
Conway Regional Airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. According to the field's remarks, 100LL is available 24 hours through self-service with credit card payment. The airport's staffed attendance schedule runs daily from 0800 to 1800 local time, which is relevant for services beyond self-serve fuel. Jet A availability should be confirmed with field staff during attended hours given the self-service note applies specifically to 100LL.
How busy is KCXW and when does traffic peak?
KCXW recorded 3,132 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 4,035 total annual operations at the field. Traffic is not evenly distributed across the year, with a clear peak in May at 404 operations, well above the monthly average seen in surrounding months. The slower months fall in January and February, each under 180 operations. Dispatchers scheduling spring trips into Conway Regional should anticipate higher field activity during that period.
Is Conway Regional Airport towered, and how do pilots contact ATC?
Conway Regional Airport, identifier KCXW, is non-towered. For clearance delivery when unable to reach via frequency, pilots should contact Little Rock Approach or Little Rock ATCT instead. This makes coordination with Little Rock facilities part of standard procedure for IFR traffic using Conway Regional. The airport sits roughly 21 nautical miles from the Little Rock metro area, placing it within that facility's operational reach for such coordination.
