Frequently asked questions
What runway does KUUV offer for business aviation traffic?
Sullivan Regional (KUUV) has a single runway, 06/24, a 4,500-foot concrete surface 75 feet wide. This is also the airport's longest paved surface, so it sets the practical limit for aircraft planning to operate here. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option at this field. Pilots should plan around a single-runway environment with no towered air traffic control, as KUUV is non-towered.
Is there a weight restriction for aircraft operating at KUUV?
Yes, Sullivan Regional is restricted to aircraft with a maximum gross weight of 12,500 lbs or less. Aircraft exceeding that weight require prior permission, arranged by contacting the airport manager before arrival. This restriction should be factored into any trip planning for larger business aircraft considering KUUV. Lighter turboprops and piston aircraft fall within the unrestricted category.
What fuel is available at Sullivan Regional Airport (KUUV)?
Sullivan Regional (KUUV) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field operates on an attendance schedule of 0700-1600 daily, which governs when fueling and staffed services are available. Aircraft operators should plan arrivals within these hours for full service. Outside these hours, the field remains accessible but staffed support is not guaranteed.
How does KUUV handle customs and international arrivals?
Sullivan Regional (KUUV) does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Spirit of St Louis, roughly 35 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from outside the United States need to route their customs clearance through that facility or another designated port of entry before or instead of landing directly at KUUV. This should be built into flight planning well ahead of arrival.
