Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KAND?
Anderson Regional Airport (KAND) operates two paved runways. Runway 05/23 is the longer strip at 6,002 feet by 149 feet, surfaced in asphalt. Runway 17/35 measures 4,996 feet by 149 feet, also asphalt. Two additional paved helipad surfaces, H1 and H2, are listed at 50 by 50 feet. Pilots should note that the profile of runway 05/23 restricts visibility from one threshold to the other.
Is fuel available at KAND outside normal hours?
Anderson Regional Airport carries both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with attendance scheduled daily from 0730 to 1930 local time. After hours, 100LL remains available through a credit card system, according to the field's own remarks. Jet A availability outside the attended schedule is not specified separately. Dispatchers planning after-hours fueling for piston aircraft should account for the card-lock arrangement at KAND rather than assume staffed service.
Does KAND have customs clearance onsite?
Anderson Regional Airport does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at KGSP, located approximately 34.15 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance should plan to route through KGSP or coordinate arrival procedures in advance. This distance is relevant for any international arrival planning into the Anderson, South Carolina area, since KAND itself cannot process the clearance.
What is the pavement condition and classification at KAND?
Anderson Regional Airport lists a PCR value of 130/F / D/X / T for its paved surfaces. The airport's condition remarks also note widespread cracks on the pavement. Dispatchers and operators should factor this pavement condition data into weight and performance planning for KAND, particularly for larger business aircraft using the field. No further detail beyond the PCR code and the cracking note is provided in the airport's operational remarks.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at Anderson Regional Airport?
Business aviation traffic at Anderson Regional Airport (KAND) is concentrated in the summer and early fall months. August shows the highest monthly count at 265 operations, followed by September at 229 and June at 228. Traffic is lower in the winter months, with January recording 126 operations, the lowest total in the 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KAND during peak summer months should anticipate higher traffic volumes than in the winter.
