Rexburg-Madison County Airport (KRXE), Idaho
Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Rexburg-Madison County Airport (KRXE) is a public, non-towered field in eastern Idaho serving Rexburg at an elevation of 4,862 feet, with a single paved runway and attendant fuel service on a Monday-through-Saturday schedule. Business aviation makes up the large majority of its recorded operations, and the field sits roughly 120 nautical miles from the nearest customs airport at Bozeman, meaning international arrivals need to plan their clearance stop well before reaching Rexburg. Terrain and trees close to the runway environment factor into approach planning here, and dispatchers should account for the airport's high-elevation, mountain-adjacent setting when building performance numbers.

Frequently asked questions
What runway does KRXE offer?
KRXE has a single paved runway, 17/35, measuring 4,204 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option at Rexburg-Madison County Airport, so wind conditions along the 17/35 axis are the primary planning factor. Lighting includes MIRL on 17/35 and REIL plus VASI on runway 35, all pilot-activated on CTAF.
Are there obstacles to consider on approach into KRXE?
Yes. Trees 20 to 50 feet tall stand about 160 feet from the runway, offset 150 feet to either side, and runway 17 carries a published approach slope of 26:1 to a displaced threshold at Rexburg-Madison County Airport. These close-in obstructions mean the runway 17 approach should be briefed with the displaced threshold and slope constraint in mind rather than treated as a standard unobstructed approach.
Is customs clearance available at Rexburg-Madison County Airport?
No, KRXE does not have onsite customs service. The nearest customs airport is Bozeman (KBZN), approximately 120 nautical miles away, so aircraft arriving from outside the United States need to route through Bozeman or another customs-capable airport before or instead of landing directly at Rexburg.
What fuel is available at KRXE?
Rexburg-Madison County Airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with service tied to the field's attendance schedule of Monday through Saturday, 0800 to 1800 local. Outside those hours, fuel access is not attended, so operators should plan arrivals accordingly, particularly for weekend Sunday operations when no attendance window is listed.
