Frequently asked questions
What runway does KUVA (Garner Field) offer for business aviation arrivals?
Garner Field, identifier KUVA, has a single paved runway, 15/33, measuring 5,256 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates most business jets operating into Uvalde, Texas. The field sits at an elevation of 942 feet. There is no operating control tower, so arriving and departing traffic uses the common traffic advisory frequency to coordinate. A parallel turf strip east of 15/33 exists but is restricted to crop duster use only.
Is fuel available at Garner Field (KUVA)?
Garner Field, identified as KUVA, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The 100LL grade is available on a self-service basis according to airport remarks. The field's attendance schedule runs seven days a week from 0700 to 1900 local time. Pilots planning arrivals outside that window should account for the unattended period when coordinating fuel needs. No onsite customs service is listed for this airport.
What lighting does KUVA provide for night operations on runway 15/33?
Runway 15/33 at KUVA, Garner Field, is equipped with medium intensity runway lights and runway end identifier lights on both ends. These lights are pilot-activated rather than continuously operated, meaning pilots key the common traffic advisory frequency to turn them on. There is no air traffic control tower at this uncontrolled field, so all lighting activation and traffic coordination rely on self-announced procedures over CTAF. This setup is typical for a non-towered general aviation airport of this size.
Does Garner Field handle customs clearance for international arrivals?
Garner Field, KUVA, does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is identified as 5T9, located approximately 45.67 nautical miles away. Flight crews arriving from outside the United States need to plan a stop at that facility, or otherwise satisfy customs requirements, before or instead of landing directly at Uvalde. Dispatchers should factor this distance into routing and fuel planning for any international itinerary touching KUVA.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KUVA?
Business aviation traffic at KUVA, Garner Field, concentrates most heavily in the final months of the year, with December recording 313 operations and November recording 255, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. February is the quietest month at 146 operations. Total annual business aviation operations for the field reached 2,353 out of 3,069 total operations recorded.
