Frequently asked questions
What runway does KLYO offer for business aircraft?
Lyons-Rice County Municipal (KLYO) has a single runway, 17/35, measuring 4,400 feet long and 75 feet wide with a concrete surface. This is the airport's only paved runway and matches the field's maximum paved runway length. The airfield is non-towered, so pilots coordinate movements on CTAF rather than with a control tower.
Is fuel available at KLYO?
Lyons-Rice County Municipal Airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Jet A is provided on request rather than held as standing ramp stock. Fuel service otherwise follows the field's attendance schedule, Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700 local.
Does KLYO have a control tower or after-hours attendance?
KLYO is a non-towered airport, so arriving and departing traffic self-announces on CTAF. The published attendance schedule runs Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1700, covering all field operations during that window. Runway lighting, including REIL and PAPI on both runway ends and MIRL on 17/35, is pilot-activated on CTAF outside staffed hours.
Where does KLYO traffic clear customs?
Lyons-Rice County Municipal (KLYO) has no onsite customs facility. The nearest customs airport of entry is Wichita's KICT, located roughly 56 nautical miles away. Operators planning international arrivals into this part of Kansas should route customs clearance through KICT before or after a stop at KLYO.
