Cox Field (PRX)

Cox Field (PRX) is a primary general aviation facility located in Lamar County, Texas, approximately 6 miles east of the city of Paris. The airport features a functional passenger terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and regional business travelers. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for northeast Texas, providing a professional base for flight operations and administrative support managed directly by the municipal government. The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers and flight crews, including a comfortable pilot lounge with overnight rest facilities, a dedicated waiting lobby, and professional conference rooms for on-site meetings. Travelers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building, computerized weather briefing kiosks, and an after-hours waiting area with restroom facilities and a public telephone. While the building lacks a full-service restaurant, travelers can find snack vending machines on-site, with various local dining options situated just a short drive away in central Paris. Technical services at the field are comprehensive, featuring 24-hour automated self-service fueling for 100LL Avgas and full-service Jet A fuel during standard business hours. The airport features a substantial 6,002-foot primary asphalt runway (17/35) that was newly renovated in 2024, alongside two concrete crosswind strips capable of handling a wide variety of aircraft. Ground transportation is well-supported by two complimentary courtesy cars available for short-term pilot use and pre-arranged rental services, providing a quick 10-minute link to the city's main districts and industrial centers.
