Arkansas International Airport sits in Blytheville, Arkansas. Field elevation is 254.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, which is 11,602 ft long. It is a non-towered field, so use CTAF 122.7 for traffic calls and runway coordination.

The field has one ILS approach to runway 18. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current airport information says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,254.1 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 36 has a visual approach slope indicator that is out of service indefinitely, so plan your descent and stabilization with that in mind.

Arkansas International Airport is served by Arkansas International Airport on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours self serve with credit card for 100 low lead. The airport is unattended on holidays. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC at the published phone numbers before departure. Night operations deserve extra attention here because the high intensity runway lights are activated from dusk to dawn by using CTAF. The lights are also set back from the runway edge in a nonstandard way. Departure perception can be different in the dark.
