Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KVDI?
Vidalia Regional Airport (KVDI) has two paved concrete runways. Runway 07/25 is the longer of the two at 6,002 feet by 100 feet wide, and it carries the airport's max paved length figure. Runway 14/32 measures 5,002 feet by 75 feet wide. Both surfaces are concrete, giving operators a choice of alignment depending on wind conditions. The longer runway supports most business aviation traffic passing through this Georgia field.
Is fuel available at KVDI outside staffed hours?
Vidalia Regional Airport offers 24-hour fuel access through a credit card service, according to the airport remarks. Fuel types on the field include 100LL and A+, with Jet A also available. The staffed attendance schedule runs 0800 to 1800 daily, but the credit card system allows self-service fueling beyond those hours. This makes KVDI usable for after-hours transient traffic needing fuel without prior arrangement with airport staff.
Does KVDI have customs clearance on site?
Vidalia Regional Airport (KVDI) does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KSAV, located approximately 59.55 nautical miles away. Operators planning international arrivals into this area of Georgia need to route through KSAV or another customs-designated facility first. Any traffic crossing the US border seen at KVDI would need to account for this additional leg in trip planning.
What lighting is available at KVDI at night?
Vidalia Regional Airport runs high-intensity runway lighting on Runway 07/25 preset to medium intensity from dusk until 2300, after which pilots activate it via CTAF. Runway 25 has a MALSR approach lighting system and Runway 07 has REIL, both also CTAF-activated after the preset period. PAPI units on both Runway 07 and Runway 25 operate continuously. This setup supports night operations at KVDI without requiring a staffed control tower, since the field is non-towered.

Monthly bizav operations peak in spring, with March, April, and May each posting well over 200 operations, and again in fall with October and November similarly elevated.
