  "terminal_info": "Lyons-Rice County Municipal Airport (LYO) is a vital regional aviation and agribusiness hub situated approximately 1 mile west of downtown Lyons in central Kansas. Jointly managed by the City of Lyons and Rice County, the airport serves as a critical logistical node for the region's massive agricultural, salt mining, and industrial sectors. Its primary 4,400-foot concrete runway (17/35) was recently renovated and widened to better accommodate high-performance business jets, corporate charters, and high-capacity agricultural aircraft essential for regional crop protection and logistics.\n\nThe passenger experience is centered on a functional terminal area managed by A+ Aviation Services, the field's primary Fixed Base Operator (FBO). Inside, the facility provides a professional and low-stress environment for transient pilots and travelers, featuring a dedicated pilot lounge with flight planning resources, public Wi-Fi, and well-appointed restrooms. A standout amenity at LYO is the availability of a dedicated courtesy car, which allows visiting aviators to easily travel into Lyons for dining at local favorites like the Outpost Cafe or for short-term business meetings. While the terminal is typically attended during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 08:00\u201317:00), the facility ensures a high standard of maintenance and security year-round.\n\nOperational support at Lyons-Rice County is robust and growing, highlighted by a comprehensive 2025 investment program that funded the construction of several new state-of-the-art hangars to meet increasing demand for business aviation storage. The airfield offers both self-service and full-service 100LL Avgas and Jet-A fueling, along with on-site aircraft maintenance provided by A&P certified mechanics. The airport's strategic location along the K-14 and US-56 corridors makes it a preferred choice for corporate stakeholders exploring the Kansas interior. Arriving at the terminal at least 30 to 45 minutes before a private departure is standard practice, though pilots are encouraged to utilize the on-site AWOS-3P system for real-time local weather updates prior to landing.",
