Frequently asked questions
What runway length is available at KLNC?
Lancaster Regional (KLNC) has a single runway, 13/31, measuring 6,500 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length is sufficient to accommodate most mid-size business jets operating into the field. The runway is also listed as the airport's maximum paved length, meaning there is no longer alternative surface for departures requiring additional distance.

Lancaster Regional (KLNC) does not have an on-site customs facility. The nearest customs point of entry is KDAL, located approximately 17.46 nm away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KDAL or another customs-equipped airport before or after operating into KLNC.
What are the fuel options at KLNC?
KLNC offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel on the field, listed in the data as A+ grade. Fuel service aligns with the airport's published attendance schedule, which runs 0700-1800 Monday through Thursday and 0700-1900 Friday through Sunday.
