Hilton Head Airport

Hilton Head Airport (KHXD) is a medium airport in Hilton Head Island, SC. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KHXD or IATA code HHH. It sits in North America.

Hilton Head Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 5,000 ft (1,524 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Hilton Head Airport sits near sea level at 19 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 43 departing and 101 arriving private-jet legs at KHXD across the next six months of operator inventory. 17 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KHXD 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.
