Frequently asked questions
What runway does KHRO offer for business aviation traffic?
Boone County Airport (KHRO) operates a single asphalt runway, 18/36, measuring 6,161 feet long and 150 feet wide. That length accommodates most midsize and super-midsize business jets without restriction. The airport is non-towered, so arrivals and departures use CTAF for traffic coordination. There is no parallel or crosswind runway, so pilots should plan for the prevailing wind component on 18/36. The full paved length matches the airport's max_paved_ft figure, confirming a single-strip layout.
Is fuel available at KHRO outside normal staffed hours?
Yes, 100LL is available 24 hours via self-serve at Boone County Airport (KHRO). Jet A is also listed among the field's fuel types, though the self-serve remark applies specifically to 100LL. The airport's attendance schedule runs 0700 to 1900 daily, so staffed services are limited to that window. Operators needing Jet A outside staffed hours should plan fuel logistics in advance. Dispatchers should confirm current Jet A service hours directly given the limited attendance window.
Does KHRO have on-site customs clearance?
Boone County Airport (KHRO) does not have on-site customs processing. The nearest customs facility is KROG, located approximately 46.55 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance must route through that airport or another designated port of entry before or after using KHRO. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should factor this distance into routing and fuel planning. No CANPASS or other on-site clearance option is listed for this field.
How busy is KHRO and when does traffic peak?
Boone County Airport (KHRO) logged 2,726 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 2,424 of those attributed to business aviation. That places KHRO in the top operational tier tracked by Skystar. Monthly business aviation activity ranges from a low of 148 operations in January to a high of 235 in June. Traffic is concentrated in the mid-year months, with June, July, and August all posting counts above 220. Dispatchers scheduling summer trips should anticipate higher ramp and runway activity during this period.
What wildlife or lighting considerations apply to operations at KHRO?
Boone County Airport (KHRO) reports deer and bird activity on and in the vicinity of the airport, a factor pilots should weigh during low-visibility or night operations. Runway lighting includes MALSR on Runway 36, REIL on Runway 18, and HIRL on Runways 18/36, all activated via CTAF. Clearance delivery for IFR departures is handled through Memphis ARTCC rather than a local facility, since the airport is non-towered. Pilots should monitor CTAF closely for both traffic and lighting activation. These factors combine to make situational awareness important during dawn and dusk operations.
