The airport is used entirely for general aviation purposes and serves as a reliever airport for Dallas Love Field. The airport elevation is 585 feet above sea level. It is a controlled field with an FAA control tower open between 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM.
The only runway at the field is runway 17/35. The runway is 7,001 feet long by 100 feet wide. It is equipped with medium intensity runway lights, MALSR approach lights, runway 17 PAPI, and runway 35 VASI. Runway 17 is equipped with a Category I ILS approach.
The airport is owned by the City of McKinney. The only fixed based operator (FBO) on the field is Cutter Aviation. There are several places to receive flight training on the field.

The airport is home to many business aircraft including the fleet of Texas Instruments. The airport averages 329 operations per day of which 72% is local general aviation, 27% is transient general operation, and less than one percent is military and commercial operation. 210 aircraft are based on the field, of which 156 are single engine aircraft, 39 are multi engine aircraft, 13 are jet aircraft, and two are helicopters.
