RWY 26

Calexico Intl (KCXL) sits in Calexico, California near the U.S.-Mexico border. Field elevation is 5.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 4,683 ft long with an asphalt surface. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. UNICOM is monitored from 0800 to 1700.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is published as 800 ft AGL for conventional aircraft. Jet traffic uses 1,200 ft AGL. That matters here because the field is very low and the traffic pattern is not the standard 1,000 ft AGL setup you may expect elsewhere.

Calexico International Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (760) 768-2175 for current services. Published remarks also note ground drop-off on the east end of Runway 08/26 and north of the east aircraft parking area. Plan your taxi and rollout with that in mind. For clearance delivery, contact Yuma Center Radar Approach Control at 928-269-9569. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
