Does KGWO have customs clearance onsite?
Greenwood-Leflore Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KJAN, located approximately 70.98 nautical miles away.

This includes MALSR on Runway 18, PAPI on Runway 36, MIRL on Runway 05/23, and HIRL on Runway 18/36. The VASI on Runway 05 operates continuously rather than requiring activation. This setup allows arrivals outside tower hours to manage runway lighting independently at KGWO.
