About Culberson County Aviaition

Redefining Aviation in the Trans-Pecos Region

At the threshold of West Texas, where resilience meets reinvention, Culberson County Aviation stands as the driving force behind the rebirth of KVHN, a strategically located airport now realigned for growth, reliability, and relevance.

Installed in Early 2025 through a structured public-private transition, Culberson County Aviation was appointed to assume full operational responsibility for KVHN following decades of underinvestment, oversight gaps, and systemic deficiencies stemming from prior private operation. For years, the airport faced stagnation: aging infrastructure, non-compliant fueling practices, and no meaningful capital improvements in over two decades. These inherited conditions were not incidental—they were the result of long-term operational mismanagement.

CCA was not brought in to maintain the status quo—we were brought in to correct it.

Since assuming control, Our team has implemented a ground-up overhaul of current airport infrastructure, safety, and service delivery. Core actions include:

Environmental remediation

of legacy fueling areas and compliance lapses left unaddressed under prior management

Airfield audits and repairs

including ramp enhancements, lighting corrections, stormwater drainage improvements, and runway clear zone realignment

Operational realignment

with strict adherence to FAA, TSA, and TXDOT aviation standards across fueling, access control, and safety documentation

Facility modernization

including the full remodel of terminal interior that had suffered years of deferred maintenance and the addition of a new pilot lounge

Our Four Pillars of Operation

  • We operate to Tier 1 standards in fueling, ground operations, and risk mitigation—with documented procedures, trained staff, and continuous audit readiness.

  • From wheels down to wheels up, we offer responsive, dependable support tailored to pilot, passenger, and crew needs.

  • We are managing a public asset with private efficiency and long-term reinvestment. Every dollar, improvement, and protocol serves a durable public purpose.

  • We believe aviation is not peripheral—it is foundational to rural economic resilience, industry access, and emergency readiness across the Trans-Pecos.

This is KVHN—restructured, rebuilding, and ready to lead.

From neglected to navigable. From overlooked to operational.

Where others paused, we progressed. Where others preserved, we transformed.

And what’s coming isn’t just growth - it’s a new standard for KVHN.
