Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KSVH?
Statesville Regional operates a single runway, 10/28, measuring 7,003 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length supports most midsize and super-midsize business jets without payload restriction under normal conditions. KSVH has no second runway or crosswind option, so pilots planning operations here should account for prevailing wind against the single 10/28 orientation. The field is non-towered, so runway and traffic pattern coordination happens over CTAF rather than with a control tower.
Is fuel available at Statesville Regional (KSVH)?
Statesville Regional Airport stocks 100LL avgas along with Jet A and Jet A1+ turbine fuel, covering both piston and jet traffic. Attendance runs Monday through Friday from 0700 to 2000 local and Saturday through Sunday from 0800 to 2000 local. Outside those hours, fuel service is not staffed. KSVH's fuel mix reflects its business aviation traffic base, which accounted for the large majority of its recorded 2025 operations. Crews arriving outside posted hours should plan fuel needs accordingly before arrival.
Does KSVH have customs clearance onsite?
Statesville Regional (KSVH) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at Charlotte Douglas, KCLT, approximately 33 nautical miles away. International arrivals into KSVH must route through KCLT or another designated customs airport before or after landing here, since no CBP presence is listed for this field. Dispatchers planning international itineraries into Statesville should build the customs stop into routing and timing rather than assuming clearance capability at KSVH itself.
What lighting is available on Statesville Regional's runway?
Statesville Regional (KSVH) offers a mix of runway lighting aids activated via CTAF. Runway 28 has an approach lighting system with sequenced flashers (MALSR), while runway 10 has runway end identifier lights (REIL). Both runway ends, 10 and 28, are equipped with precision approach path indicators (PAPI) for glidepath guidance, and high intensity runway lights (HIRL) cover the full 10/28 length. Pilots activate these systems themselves over the common frequency since the airport is non-towered and has no tower-operated lighting control.
How much business aviation traffic does Statesville Regional Airport handle?
Statesville Regional Airport recorded 4,262 business aviation operations against a 2025 annual total of 7,675 operations, meaning business aviation makes up the majority of traffic at the field, according to FAA TFMSC data. Monthly volumes ranged from a low of 274 operations in February to a peak of 419 in August. Traffic builds through spring and summer, staying above 350 operations per month from April through November, before dropping off in the winter months of December, January, and February. This pattern points to a seasonal concentration of activity in the warmer months at KSVH.
