Flying Into Winston-Salem?
File for KEXX Instead.

Before you file for KINT, take a look at KEXX.

Smith Reynolds Airport (KINT) has one FBO — no competition, no price pressure, and GA sequences behind commercial traffic on a shared ramp. Davidson County Executive Airport (KEXX) is 35 minutes southeast 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. Same 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 KINT are waiting on the sole FBO to finish with the aircraft ahead of you. When there is only one option at the field, the service reflects it. KEXX treats every arrival like it matters — because at an owner-operated FBO, it does.

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. Winston-Salem is one of North Carolina’s most distinctive business markets — healthcare and life sciences anchored by Atrium Health and Wake Forest, financial services, technology, and arts and culture all generate regular corporate inbound traffic. If you are bringing pax into the Forsyth County corridor, KEXX puts them 35 minutes from downtown without the single-FBO overhead at KINT.

35 Minutes from Winston-Salem — Without the KINT Overhead

KEXX is at 1673 Aviation Way, Lexington, NC — 35 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem via I-285 North. Direct highway access makes ground connections to Forsyth County, the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, and the broader Winston-Salem business corridor fast and predictable from the ramp.

KEXX vs. KINT: What the Numbers Look Like

KINT has a single FBO serving all GA traffic. That means no competitive pricing, no alternative if service falls short, and your aircraft waiting in line behind every other arrival. At KEXX you get an owner-operated FBO where the crew knows your tail number before you roll in and the ramp is clear when you get there.

At a glance:

KEXX offers competitive Jet A pricing with no landing fee with minimum fuel purchase, no facility fees with fuel, and a clear ramp with no commercial sequencing. For any operator who does not need KINT’s runway length, the case for KEXX is straightforward.
