Air Direct regularly provides private jet charter service from Sulphur Springs Municipal Airport (KSLR). Our Citation Excel, N560AD, is based nearby at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas—roughly a 10-minute flight from Sulphur Springs—making KSLR a natural part of the Northeast Texas region we serve every day.
Fly directly with an FAA Part 135 operator aboard a spacious midsize jet with a professional two-pilot crew, generous baggage capacity, a private lavatory, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. Your trip begins in Sulphur Springs and follows your itinerary—not an airline schedule.
Sulphur Springs Municipal Airport sits only about two miles northwest of the city and offers an unusually convenient gateway to Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, and the surrounding Northeast Texas region. The airport is city-owned and combines a practical business-aviation facility with a relaxed, welcoming small-airport atmosphere.
Runway 1/19 measures 5,001 feet by 75 feet with a concrete surface, medium-intensity runway lighting, REILs and four-light PAPIs on both ends. KSLR also provides AWOS-3 weather reporting and published RNAV (GPS) approaches to both Runway 1 and Runway 19. Jet-A and 100LL are available on the field through the city-operated FBO.
At 5,001 feet, KSLR meets Air Direct's 5,000-foot runway guideline for considering Citation Excel charter operations. As with every flight, actual takeoff and landing performance is evaluated for the specific aircraft weight, weather, runway condition, obstacles, and other operating factors applicable to the trip.
The City of Sulphur Springs FBO provides the services that make a local charter departure work smoothly: full-service Jet-A, aircraft parking, passenger and crew facilities, rental-car assistance, catering support, courtesy cars, and a flight-planning room.
Inside the terminal, passengers and crews have access to free Wi-Fi, a conference room by request, a comfortable great room with a fireplace, coffee and ice, and other pilot facilities. The Red Barn Cafe is even located just across the street from the terminal—an unusually convenient option when a crew or passenger has a little time on the ground.
KSLR also has some aviation character of its own. The airport was named Texas Airport of the Year by the TxDOT Aviation Division in 2003, and the field's history stretches back to its first recorded landing in 1938. Today it continues to serve local corporate flight departments, general aviation, maintenance activity, and visiting business aircraft.
Sulphur Springs has a distinctive identity for a city its size. Its revitalized downtown is centered on Celebration Plaza and the historic Hopkins County Courthouse, with restaurants, shops, public events, and one of the city's best-known curiosities: the one-way-mirrored glass restrooms on the square.
Hopkins County also has deep roots in the dairy industry, a heritage preserved at the Southwest Dairy Museum. Outdoor destinations are close by as well, including Cooper Lake State Park, Lake Sulphur Springs, and Lake Fork—making the area as relevant for family, ranch, lake, and recreational travel as it is for business.
Whether you're visiting a local company, heading to the courthouse or downtown, meeting family, spending time at the lake, or simply starting a trip from home, KSLR lets the journey begin right here in Sulphur Springs.
Sulphur Springs Municipal is more than a runway and fuel stop. The airport supports flight training, aircraft maintenance, local corporate aviation, and an active aviation community. American Legend Aircraft Company also has a presence on the field, adding aircraft manufacturing, restoration, and service activity to KSLR's aviation mix.
The airport sits beside Lake Sulphur Springs and even includes an adjacent seaplane base—an unusual feature that gives the field a character all its own. For a Northeast Texas airport, KSLR manages to feel both highly useful and unmistakably local.
Air Direct has operated under FAA Part 135 since 2002 and is based at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas. Sulphur Springs is roughly a 10-minute flight from our home base, and we regularly serve KSLR for charter departures and arrivals.

Midsize comfort, useful capability, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi.
N560AD offers a spacious midsize cabin with seating for up to nine passengers, a private aft lavatory, fold-out work tables, passenger power outlets, and room to stand and move about during flight.
The Citation Excel's large external baggage compartment makes N560AD well suited for business luggage, family trips, golf equipment, ski gear, and other trips where baggage capacity matters.
Complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi lets you stay connected for work, communication, or entertainment while you travel.
Sulphur Springs sits along I-30 between Dallas and Texarkana. For a private charter trip, there is often little reason to start by driving west toward the Metroplex. Meet N560AD at KSLR, board close to home or work, and depart directly toward the airport that best serves your destination.
Private aviation also opens access to thousands of airports without scheduled airline service, often allowing you to land closer to the meeting, facility, resort, family, or event that brought you there in the first place.
