Hilton Head Airport: questions
What FBOs are at Hilton Head Airport?
We don't list FBO names: the FAA's airport record doesn't include them, and directories that do aren't ours to republish. An FBO (fixed-base operator) is the private terminal: lounge, fuel, ramp, hangar and ground handling. On a charter, the operator chooses the FBO at HXD; ask us which one your flight uses and we'll tell you before you go.
Can a large private jet use HXD?
HXD's longest paved runway is 5,000 ft at 19 ft elevation. As general guidance, light jet and midsize jets usually fit; super-midsize jet and large jets often do with less fuel or fewer passengers. Weather, weight and the operator's rules decide each flight.
Does HXD have customs for international private flights?
The FAA's record doesn't list U.S. Customs at HXD. A private flight arriving from abroad clears at an airport of entry first, then continues. Ask us and we'll route it.
