Frequently asked questions
Is there jet fuel available at KHVS?
Yes, Hartsville Regional stocks both Jet A and 100LL. The field is unattended outside published hours, with attendant coverage daily from 0800 to 1700 local. Pilots planning arrivals outside that window should account for the lack of on-site staffing. KHVS is a non-towered airport, so fuel arrangements should be confirmed ahead of arrival when possible.
Does KHVS have customs clearance on site?
No, Hartsville Regional does not have customs service on the field. The nearest customs airport of entry is KEQY, located about 44 nautical miles away. Flights requiring clearance should plan to route through that facility instead of KHVS. This distance is worth building into routing decisions for any international arrival.
What is the runway length at Hartsville Regional (KHVS)?
Hartsville Regional has a single paved runway, 03/21, measuring 5,000 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This matches the airport's maximum paved runway length, meaning no other runway at the field offers a longer landing distance. Runway lighting (MIRL) is preset to low intensity from dusk until 2100 and can be stepped up via CTAF after that time.
How busy is business aviation traffic at KHVS?
Hartsville Regional recorded 112 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 184 total operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic is uneven across the year, with February showing the highest monthly count. This is a lower-volume field by regional standards, and dispatchers should expect limited based activity and no control tower, as KHVS operates as a non-towered airport.
