Updates on Grass and Taxiway Parking
In order to maintain a safe operating environment for UOX and to operate within FAA regulations, UOX will no longer allow airplane parking on the grass and taxiways. This will reduce the number of airplanes we will be able to park at UOX.
As a result, we will be directing many customers to neighboring airports such as:
- Panola County Airport (KPMU)
- Tupelo Regional Airport (KTUP), and
- Holly Spring-Marshall County Airport (M41).
We encourage you to plan ahead, arrive early, and let us know how we can best assist you.
