Frequently asked questions
Is there a control tower at KSVR?
KSVR, South Valley Regional airport, is not towered. Pilots use CTAF for traffic coordination on runway 16/34, the field's single paved runway. Runway lighting is pilot controlled, with REIL on both runway ends and MIRL on the full runway activated over the same CTAF frequency. Dispatchers should plan for self-announced arrivals and departures rather than tower clearances. The field sits in the Salt Lake City metro area, about 9.43 nautical miles from the metro center.
What is the runway length at South Valley Regional?
South Valley Regional's single runway, 16/34, measures 5,862 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This matches the airport's listed maximum paved distance, meaning no other runway offers additional length. The field has no parallel or crosswind runway, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this one strip regardless of wind direction. Field elevation is 4,606 feet, a factor for density altitude planning on takeoff performance calculations. There is no tower, and lighting on this runway is pilot-activated via CTAF.
Where does business aviation traffic cross the border near KSVR?
KSVR, South Valley Regional, is a domestic US airport in Salt Lake City, Utah, and does not itself handle border-crossing traffic. Nearest customs processing is available at Salt Lake City International, listed at 10.16 nautical miles from South Valley Regional. The airport shows no onsite customs service and no customs type designation in its own facility data. Business aviation operators requiring customs clearance in the area would need to route through that nearby international facility instead. South Valley Regional's own annual bizav operations count, per FAA TFMSC data for 2025, totals 834.
What fuel is available at South Valley Regional Airport?
South Valley Regional Airport offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. This dual availability supports both piston general aviation traffic and turbine business aircraft operating through the field. The airport operates on a published attendance schedule of 0800 to 1800 Monday through Friday, and 0700 to 1700 on Saturday and Sunday, all times local. Outside those windows, fuel service and staffed operations should not be assumed. Dispatchers scheduling turbine flights into KSVR should confirm timing falls within the posted attendance hours.
Does KSVR see seasonal variation in business aviation traffic?

Per FAA TFMSC data for 2025, monthly bizav operations ranged from a low of 42 in April to a high of 108 in July, with December also posting 111 operations. September and October each recorded 105 operations. This pattern is useful for dispatchers anticipating ramp and fuel demand fluctuations at the field across the operating year. Total annual bizav operations for the airport reached 834 against a total of 1,205 operations of all types.
