Frequently asked questions
Does Maverick County Memorial International offer customs clearance for international flights?
Maverick County Memorial International Airport, also identified as EGP, has CBP inspection services available onsite. Crews should note that flight notification service through ADCUS is available for advance customs coordination. This is a border-adjacent field near Eagle Pass, Texas, so operators arriving from Mexico should plan customs handling directly at the airport rather than diverting to another port of entry. Coordinate arrival details in advance since specific onsite hours and procedures depend on staffing schedules. The airport's proximity to the border makes it a relevant option for crossborder business aviation traffic.
What is the runway configuration at EGP?
EGP, Maverick County Memorial International Airport, has a single paved runway, 13/31, measuring 5,506 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the field, so wind conditions dictate a single approach and departure axis. The airport is non-towered, so pilots operate on CTAF for traffic coordination. Runway markings are noted as faded in airport remarks, and extensive pavement cracking has also been reported. Crews should factor these surface conditions into landing distance and braking action planning.
What are the airport attendance hours at Maverick County Memorial International?
Maverick County Memorial International Airport is attended Monday through Friday from 0830 to 1400 local time, and Saturday and Sunday from 1000 to 1600 local time. Outside these windows the field operates unattended, which is typical for a non-towered airport of this size. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled through CTAF, with medium intensity runway lights on runway 13/31 preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Pilots can increase lighting intensity by keying the CTAF frequency. Flight planning should account for these attendance hours when scheduling arrivals requiring onsite services.
How is air traffic control handled at EGP given its proximity to Laughlin Air Force Base?
Clearance delivery at Maverick County Memorial International, identified as EGP, is coordinated through Laughlin Approach under normal conditions. When Laughlin Approach is closed, pilots must contact Houston ARTCC instead for clearance delivery. This arrangement reflects the airport's location near Laughlin AFB Auxiliary Field Number 1, situated roughly 15.84 nautical miles from EGP. Operators should confirm which facility is active before departure to avoid delays in obtaining IFR clearances. This dual-path clearance procedure is a distinctive feature of operating at this airport.
