We Love Pilots!

Tupelo Regional’s attraction to travelers, airlines, developers and aircraft owners is easy to understand. Although the airport is more than 65 years old, it sparkles today with recent improvements and renovations:

In 1991, the runway was extended to 7,150 feet, with 150-foot-wide (2179 x 46m) grooved pavement. The field offers instrument approaches to aid pilots in times of limited visibility: a new full lighting system and an air traffic control tower. A new overlay on taxiways, a fire station, a new parking lot and a recently completed security system, including a new perimeter road, complete the facelift.

Nearly every component of Tupelo Regional Airport has been improved, providing a level of safety, security and control that many airports lack. But the work doesn’t end here. The airport has plans for a free-trade zone, which would allow businesses to warehouse their goods, minus inventory taxes.

We have constructed a new T-hangar that accommodates 14 airplanes and allows for expansion in the area of general aviation. This self-serve area offers fueling and space for flight planning. Pilots can already avail themselves of aviation fuel (AvGas and JetA), aircraft rental, flight instruction, aircraft repair and car rental. A spacious and modern terminal building, nine conventional hangar spaces complete the airport’s airside facilities.

We hope to see you soon!
