Cox Field (KPRX) is a medium airport in Paris, TX. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KPRX or IATA code PRX. It sits in North America.
Cox Field is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 6,002-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 6,002 ft (1,829 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.
Cox Field sits near sea level at 547 ft.
Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess currently tracks 120 departing and 148 arriving private-jet legs at KPRX across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
Regional fields like KPRX are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
Cox Field is an airport seven miles east of Paris, in Lamar County, Texas. It is owned by the city of Paris but is operated and maintained by J.R. Aviation, the airport's fixed-base operator (FBO).
