Frequently asked questions
What kind of traffic does KONX see, and is fuel available around the clock?
Currituck County Regional (KONX) recorded 1,080 total annual operations in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data, with 711 of those classified as business aviation movements. The field is non-towered and carries an attendance schedule of 0800-1600 daily. Both 100LL and Jet A (A1+) are stocked, and fuel is available on a 24-hour basis through credit card self-service. This makes KONX usable for operations outside the staffed hours, provided the aircraft can operate into an unattended field.
Is there customs service on the field at KONX?
Currituck County Regional has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at KORF, located approximately 31 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through KORF or coordinate clearance in advance rather than expecting processing at KONX itself. This distance should be factored into trip planning for any international arrival requiring inspection before or after landing at Currituck County Regional.
What is the runway configuration at KONX?
KONX has a single runway, 05/23, measuring 5,502 feet long and 150 feet wide. The surface is asphalt-concrete and it is paved, matching the airport's listed maximum paved runway length. With only one runway available, crosswind conditions on the 05/23 alignment are the primary operational consideration at Currituck County Regional. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option on the field.
Does Currituck County Regional show seasonal traffic patterns?
Yes, business aviation traffic at KONX is notably concentrated in the warmer months of the year. Monthly figures from FAA TFMSC data show peaks in June (101 operations) and August (106 operations), compared to lows in February (22) and March (24). This pattern suggests operators should expect higher ramp and fuel demand during the summer season at Currituck County Regional. Planning around off-peak months may offer more operational flexibility for those with schedule latitude.
What wildlife or airfield hazards are noted for KONX?
Currituck County Regional has a published remark noting birds and deer both on the airport and in its vicinity. This is a standing operational caution for pilots operating into KONX, particularly during approach, landing, and taxi phases when wildlife strikes are more likely. The airport lighting system includes pilot-activated REIL and MIRL for runway 05/23, along with PAPI on both ends that can have intensity adjusted via CTAF. Coordination for clearance delivery at KONX is handled through Oceana Approach.
