Frequently asked questions
Does KFLO have customs facilities on site?
Florence Regional (KFLO) does not have customs available on site. The nearest customs airport of entry is Myrtle Beach (KMYR), located approximately 49.92 nautical miles away. Dispatchers planning international arrivals into Florence Regional need to route customs clearance through KMYR before or after landing at KFLO. There is no CANPASS or onsite customs designation associated with this airport in current data. Crews should factor this offsite requirement into any international trip planning.
What is the runway length available at KFLO?
Florence Regional (KFLO) offers two paved runways, both asphalt. Runway 09/27 is the longer of the pair at 6,502 feet, with a width of 150 feet. Runway 01/19 measures 6,000 feet in length and is also 150 feet wide. Both runways provide substantial length for a wide range of business and commercial aircraft operating at KFLO.
Is there a passenger seat restriction for unscheduled flights at Florence Regional?
Yes. Florence Regional (KFLO) requires 24-hour prior permission for unscheduled air carrier operations carrying more than 30 passenger seats. Operators must contact the airport manager in advance to arrange this clearance. This applies specifically to unscheduled carrier flights exceeding the 30-seat threshold, not to general aviation traffic below that count. Dispatchers coordinating charter or ad hoc carrier flights into KFLO should build this prior permission requirement into trip planning timelines.
What are summer temperatures like at Florence Regional?
Florence Regional (KFLO) sees its warmest conditions from June through August. July is the peak month, with an average high near 92.0 degrees Fahrenheit and an average of 21.8 days reaching or exceeding 90 degrees.

Winter months are comparatively mild, with January highs averaging 57.1 degrees and no days above 90 degrees recorded.
How should pilots communicate at KFLO when the tower or approach is closed?
Florence Regional (KFLO) is a towered airport, but procedures exist for when air traffic services are unavailable. If a pilot cannot reach clearance delivery on the flight service station frequency, the next contact is Florence Approach. When Florence Approach itself is closed, pilots are directed to contact Jacksonville ARTCC instead. This layered contact procedure ensures clearance delivery remains reachable at KFLO regardless of which facility is staffed at a given time.
