Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KAID?
Anderson Regional (KAID) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 12/30 is the longer at 5,400 feet by 100 feet wide, and runway 18/36 measures 3,399 feet by 75 feet. Both are usable for typical business aviation traffic, though the shorter runway will limit some larger aircraft types.
Is there a passenger restriction on aircraft using Anderson Regional?
Yes. Anderson Regional Airport is not available to air carrier aircraft configured with more than 30 passenger seats. This restriction applies specifically to air carrier operations rather than general business aviation flights, so dispatchers moving larger-cabin business jets should confirm seating configuration against this limit before planning a stop here.
Can I get customs clearance at KAID?
No, customs is not available onsite at Anderson Regional (KAID). The nearest customs facility is at KIND, approximately 39 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing should plan to clear at KIND or another designated port of entry rather than at Anderson Regional directly.
Is fuel available at Anderson Regional outside staffed hours?
Self-serve fuel is available at Anderson Regional (KAID) around the clock. The airport carries 100LL, Jet A, and mogas, though full-service and terminal staffing follow the posted attendance schedule, with weekday coverage from 0700 to 1800 and on-call service on weekends. Pilots arriving outside those hours can still fuel using the self-serve option.
