Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KCAK?
Akron-Canton Regional (KCAK) has onsite CBP inspection services, supported by a USDA compliance agreement. Crews do not need to divert to a nearby port of entry for international arrivals. This setup places KCAK among airports where clearance can be arranged directly on the field. Dispatchers should still coordinate arrival details with CBP ahead of time, since onsite availability does not remove standard notification requirements. The USDA agreement specifically covers agricultural compliance for arriving flights.
What runways does KCAK offer for business aviation arrivals?
KCAK operates two paved asphalt runways suited to business aviation traffic. Runway 05/23 is the longer of the pair at 8,204 feet, with a width of 150 feet. Runway 01/19 measures 7,601 feet, also 150 feet wide. Both runways give operators of large-cabin jets ample margin under most weight and performance conditions. Akron-Canton Regional's pavement classification is listed as PCR VALUE 410/F / B/X / U, a figure worth checking against specific aircraft weight limits before dispatch.
How busy is Akron-Canton Regional with business aviation traffic?
Akron-Canton Regional recorded 13,920 business aviation operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 29,374 total annual operations. Traffic builds through the year, with January the slowest month at 901 operations and July the busiest at 1,328. The spread between winter and summer months is moderate but consistent, with July through October each posting over 1,250 operations. KCAK's ops tier is classified as Tier 1, reflecting its position among the more heavily used general aviation and business aviation fields tracked by Skystar.
Are there any taxiway or wingspan restrictions at KCAK?
Yes, Akron-Canton Regional restricts part of Taxiway E. The section of Taxiway E east of Taxiway B is closed to aircraft with a wingspan over 118 feet. Operators of large-cabin or ultra-long-range aircraft approaching that wingspan threshold should confirm routing with ATC or ground control before taxi. This restriction is specific to that taxiway segment and does not apply to the rest of the airport's movement areas.
What wildlife or visibility hazards are noted at KCAK?
Akron-Canton Regional has reported deer and bird activity on and in the vicinity of the airport. Separately, aircraft taxiing on the Air CAMIS ramp and north hangar areas are not visible from the airport traffic control tower. Crews operating in these areas should maintain heightened situational awareness and coordinate closely with ground control, given the reduced visual coverage from the tower. These are standing operational notes rather than isolated incidents.
