Air Direct regularly provides private jet charter service from Texarkana Regional Airport (KTXK), serving travelers on both the Texas and Arkansas sides of Texarkana and throughout the greater Ark-La-Tex region. Our Citation Excel, N560AD, is based nearby at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas, allowing us to reposition into Texarkana for on-demand charter departures.
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 Texarkana and follows your itinerary—not an airline schedule.
Texarkana Regional Airport sits approximately three miles northeast of downtown Texarkana and serves a true two-state market. The airport is physically located on the Arkansas side, but is governed regionally and serves both Texarkana, Arkansas and Texarkana, Texas, along with surrounding communities across the Ark-La-Tex.
KTXK is a towered airport with a 6,602-foot by 150-foot grooved primary runway (Runway 4/22), instrument approaches including an ILS to Runway 22, and a 5,200-foot crosswind runway. Jet-A fuel and private aviation services are available through Signature Aviation at TXK. Signature provides line service, ramp-side vehicle access, a crew lounge, weather-planning facilities, and other support for business and general aviation. The airport also opened a new passenger terminal in 2024 and provides quick road access to I-49, I-30, and U.S. 67.
The primary runway easily exceeds 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.
Texarkana's location on the Texas-Arkansas state line has always made it a regional crossroads. Today, the area combines interstate, rail, industrial, defense, healthcare, distribution, and manufacturing activity with easy access to communities across Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Northwest Louisiana.
Nearby Red River Army Depot and TexAmericas Center contribute to a strong defense, logistics, manufacturing, and industrial presence in the region. Whether your trip involves business at one of the area's major employers, a family visit, a weekend away, or travel beyond the Ark-La-Tex, departing from KTXK lets the trip begin close to where you already are.
Air Direct has operated under FAA Part 135 since 2002 and is based roughly 20 minutes flying time west of KTXK at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas. We regularly serve Texarkana, making KTXK a natural part of our home-region charter market.
When you book with Air Direct, you are working directly with the air carrier operating your flight. We own and operate Citation Excel N560AD, provide our own qualified flight crews, and manage your trip from the initial quote through completion of the flight.
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.
Texarkana has scheduled airline service, but many trips still require a connection through a larger hub. Private charter changes the itinerary. Instead of beginning with a highway drive to a larger metro airport or planning around an airline connection, you can meet N560AD at KTXK 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.
Private travel built around Texarkana and your schedule.
KTXK serves both sides of Texarkana and the surrounding Ark-La-Tex, with quick highway access from the Texas and Arkansas sides of the city.
A 6,602-foot grooved primary runway, tower services, instrument approaches, Jet-A, and Signature Aviation FBO services make KTXK a practical airport for Citation Excel operations.
Choose when you want to leave and when you want to return. Your itinerary is built around the trip you need to make, not a published airline schedule.
Business meeting, plant visit, family trip, weekend away, or a longer cross-country journey—private charter lets the itinerary revolve around you. The Citation Excel is well suited for both regional and cross-country travel, with nonstop capability depending on passenger load, baggage, winds, weather, airport conditions, and required fuel reserves.
From KTXK, Air Direct can plan trips throughout the United States and to approved destinations in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Tell us where you need to go and we will build the trip around your itinerary.
Texarkana is more than a stop on the state line. The region supports substantial defense, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, distribution, and industrial activity, with major facilities and employers spread across Bowie County, Miller County, and the surrounding area.
For executives, customers, vendors, technical teams, and other business travelers, private charter from KTXK can make a same-day or multi-city itinerary practical when airline schedules would otherwise consume much of the trip.
Tell us where you are going, when you would like to leave, and who is traveling. We will provide a charter quote based on your itinerary from KTXK.
