KEXX: Your Ideal Fuel Stop in North Carolina

Planning a fuel stop in North Carolina?

Why fly into a bigger airport when KEXX gives you everything you need — without everything you don’t?

Fly High Lexington at Davidson County Executive Airport (KEXX) is the fuel stop North Carolina FBO that corporate crews choose when efficiency matters. No commercial traffic. No landing fee with a minimum fuel purchase. No waiting behind an airliner on the taxiway. Just fast, personalized service, competitive Jet A pricing, and a crew that is ready when you are.

We sit at the center of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad, with direct access to I-85 and I-285 and easy ground connections to the region’s major business centers. When your passengers need to be somewhere, KEXX gets them there faster than a commercial airport will.

Our Titan ACE Certified line crew meets you on the ramp, fuels your aircraft, and has you back in the air with minimal ground time. That is the KEXX difference — and it is why corporate operators keep coming back.

A Runway Built for Business Jets

KEXX is not your average fuel stop. In addition to competitive Jet A pricing, our runway has been recently repaved and grooved with widened taxiway connectors. The runway carries a pavement classification rating of PCR 369/F/C/X/T, with a 60,000 lb dual-wheel weight limit. That comfortably handles light, midsize and super-midsize jets. Large-cabin operators should call ahead. Our guide to what the KEXX runway rating means for jet operators explains the numbers.

Key runway specs:

  • Runway length: 5,004 feet
  • Surface: Repaved, grooved, widened taxiway connectors
  • Pavement: PCR 369/F/C/X/T; 60,000 lb dual wheel
  • Approaches: ILS/LOC RWY 06, RNAV (GPS) RWY 06 and 24
  • MALSR approach lighting installed
  • Elevation: 733 feet MSL
  • Ramp space: 7 acres

For corporate operators, shorter taxi times mean faster turns. KEXX has no commercial traffic competing for runway access, which means you get in and out on your schedule. On-field aircraft maintenance is also available for crews who need to address a squawk before continuing.

Location on the East Coast Corridor

KEXX sits at the center of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad. For crews making the northeast-to-Florida flight, our FBO is the smart midpoint fuel stop. You stay clear of congested Class B airspace and land at an uncrowded, crew-friendly field.

Drive times to nearby cities:

If you depart from TEB, HPN, CDW, or MMU and head to MCO, MIA, FLL, TPA, or RSW, KEXX lands you at roughly the halfway point. Our guide to the best fuel stop between New York and Florida explains what to compare. In short, you fuel up here, skip the southeast metro congestion, and push south with full tanks. As a result, more crews are making this North Carolina FBO fuel stop part of their regular corridor routing.
