Frequently asked questions
What kind of business aviation traffic does KEBG see?
South Texas International at Edinburg, identified as KEBG, recorded 1,033 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data. That figure comes from cross-border traffic seen by the FAA, since the airport sits near the US-Mexico border. Monthly counts ranged from 57 operations in May up to 113 in August. December and October also ran above 90 operations. Dispatchers routing through South Texas should expect a mid-tier volume field rather than a high-density one.
Does KEBG have customs and CBP inspection available?
Yes, CBP inspection services are available onsite at South Texas International at Edinburg. The remarks note that customs is available Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1600, with hours extending somewhat beyond that window. Flight crews planning international arrivals at KEBG should confirm timing falls within this staffed period, since coverage is not continuous around the clock. No nearby alternate customs airport is listed in the data, so this is the primary point of entry for the field.
What fuel is available at South Texas International at Edinburg?
South Texas International at Edinburg carries both 100LL and Jet A+ fuel. Self-service fuel for both grades is available 24 hours a day. Full-service fueling is offered during attended hours only, which run all days from 0800 to 1700 with some extension beyond that. Outside attended hours, crews arriving at KEBG will need to rely on the self-service option for either grade.
What is the runway length and surface at KEBG?
KEBG has a single runway, 14/32, measuring 5,000 feet long by 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This matches the airport's maximum paved surface length, meaning no other runway offers a longer option at this field. Lighting on runway 14/32 is MIRL, preset to low intensity by default. Pilots can increase intensity and activate REIL on runway 14 through CTAF. There is no tower at South Texas International at Edinburg, so runway and lighting control is entirely pilot-managed via radio.
Is there a seasonal pattern to traffic at South Texas International at Edinburg?
Yes, business aviation traffic at South Texas International at Edinburg concentrates in certain months rather than spreading evenly across the year. August is the peak month with 113 operations, while May is the lowest at 57 operations. Fall months including September, October, and November also run above the annual average, as does December. Dispatchers building schedules around KEBG should account for this uneven monthly distribution rather than assuming flat year-round volume.
