Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KTHV?
KTHV, York Airport, has a single paved runway, 17/35, measuring 5,188 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the longest paved surface reported for the field and sets the maximum usable length for arriving and departing turbine traffic. There is no parallel or crosswind runway, so operations depend entirely on this one strip. Dispatchers should plan performance calculations against the full 5,188-foot length rather than any lesser published distance.
Is fuel available at York Airport (KTHV)?
York Airport, identified as KTHV, carries both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport is uncontrolled, and its attendance schedule runs Monday through Friday from 0630 to 1900 and Saturday and Sunday from 0730 to 1630, local time. Fuel service should be expected to follow this same attendance window rather than being available around the clock. Crews planning arrivals outside these hours should coordinate in advance given the absence of a control tower and continuous staffing.
Are there wingspan restrictions for taxiing to Runway 35 at KTHV?
Yes, the taxiway leading to Runway 35 at KTHV is closed to aircraft with a wingspan over 60 feet. This restriction affects larger business jets and turboprops that would otherwise use that taxiway to access the runway for departure or after landing. Operators of aircraft exceeding this wingspan limit need to plan an alternate taxi route or reconsider using Runway 35 for that portion of the movement. This limitation is specific to the taxiway serving Runway 35, not the runway pavement itself.
Does York Airport (KTHV) have customs clearance on site?
York Airport, KTHV, does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is at KMDT, Harrisburg International, located 17.34 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring a customs clearance after an international arrival need to route through KMDT or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at York. For coordination of customs decisions when there is no tower on the field, one remark notes that CD contact should go through Harrisburg Approach.
What obstacles affect the approach to Runway 17 and Runway 35 at KTHV?
Both runway ends at York Airport, KTHV, have tree obstructions affecting the approach path. Runway 17 has trees 1,383 feet out and 121 feet right of centerline, with an approach slope of 20:1 to the displaced threshold. Runway 35 has trees farther out at 2,684 feet and 425 feet right, with a shallower 22:1 approach slope to its displaced threshold. Runway 17 also has a close-in obstruction: a road with a 15-foot obstacle height sits 10 to 200 feet from the runway end, and a marked, lighted blast fence of the same height sits 50 to 85 feet from the end.
