Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KAEG?

Runway 17/35 measures 5,983 feet long and is also 100 feet wide.

Is jet fuel available at Double Eagle II Airport?
Double Eagle II Airport lists both 100LL and Jet A among its fuel types. 100LL is available 24 hours via self-service with a major credit card. Jet A1 service carries a call-out fee of $150. Dispatchers should factor that call-out charge into trip planning when Jet A1 is required outside standard availability.
Does KAEG have on-airport customs clearance?
Double Eagle II Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KABQ, located approximately 11.17 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs clearance should plan to route through that airport instead. This distance is short enough that a positioning leg or ground transfer arrangement is a practical option for many operators.
What operational hazards are noted near KAEG?
Double Eagle II Airport carries two general remarks relevant to flight planning. Wildlife has been reported on and in the vicinity of the airport, warranting caution during approach and departure. Separately, a live fire range sits 1.6 nautical miles west of the approach end of runway 04, and avoidance is advised. Both conditions are worth briefing before operating into or out of KAEG.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KAEG?
Double Eagle II Airport shows a seasonal traffic pattern rather than a flat monthly distribution. Business aviation operations recorded by FAA TFMSC ranged from a low of 39 in March to a high of 93 in June for 2025. December and January also posted relatively high counts, at 92 and 87 respectively. Dispatchers scheduling into KAEG during the spring shoulder months, particularly March, should expect lighter airport activity than in summer or winter.
