Flying Into Thomasville?
File for KEXX Instead.

Thomasville has no airport. KEXX is 15 minutes away.

Thomasville has no dedicated airport — crews headed there typically file for KGSO or KINT and absorb a long ground transfer on the other end. Davidson County Executive Airport (KEXX) is the closest full-service FBO to Thomasville, just 15 minutes south via I-285. Jet A is competitively priced with no landing fee with minimum fuel purchase, and the ramp is yours the moment you touch down. Closer destination. Faster block-to-block. Lower cost per stop.

KEXX is a full-service FBO with no commercial traffic, no ramp control requirements, no queue behind an airliner on the taxiway. Fueling is handled by our Titan ACE Certified crew. They meet you on the ramp, your uplift is staged, and you are moving again while crews at KGSO are still clearing the commercial ramp. For crews running into the Thomasville and Davidson County corridor, putting down at KEXX cuts the ground transfer in half compared to any commercial alternative.

Need crew cars while your pax handle business on the ground? KEXX provides complimentary crew cars for short turnarounds — grab the keys, drop your passengers, and be back at the aircraft when they are done. Thomasville is at the heart of North Carolina’s furniture manufacturing corridor, home to Lexington Home Brands and a dense network of manufacturing, distribution, and showroom operations tied to the High Point Market ecosystem. If you are bringing pax into this market, 15 minutes is a meaningful difference from the 40-plus-minute transfer from a commercial field.

KEXX vs. KGSO and KINT: What the Numbers Look Like

KGSO and KINT both sequence GA behind commercial traffic. You share the ramp with regional jets and cargo ops, fees can stack on top of fuel, and the ground transfer to Thomasville adds another 40-plus minutes on top of that. At KEXX the ramp is open, the turn is fast, and downtown Thomasville is 15 minutes away.

At a glance:

KEXX offers competitive Jet A pricing with no landing fee with minimum fuel purchase, no facility fees with fuel, a clear ramp with no commercial sequencing, and the shortest ground transfer to Thomasville of any option in the region.
