About Culberson County Airport

Culberson County Airport is a county-owned public-use airport serving Van Horn and the surrounding Culberson County area in far West Texas. Activated in 1943, it functions primarily as a general aviation facility for private, business and charter aircraft rather than a scheduled commercial passenger airport.

The airport is located about 3 miles northeast of central Van Horn and operates two asphalt runways: runway 03/21 and runway 07/25. Its elevation of roughly 3,957 feet and remote high-desert setting make it a practical aviation access point for travelers heading to Van Horn, the Guadalupe Mountains, and the wider West Texas region.

Because scheduled airline service is not available, most visitors arrive by private aircraft or arrange ground transportation from larger airports such as El Paso. Onward travel is generally by private transfer, pre-arranged chauffeur service, rental car, or taxi, since public transit options at the airport are limited.

The airport provides aviation fuel, tiedown parking, hangar space and a pilot lounge, along with free Wi-Fi and restrooms through its fixed-base operator services. For travelers, it offers a compact and convenient general aviation gateway into this part of Texas.
