Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KACB?
Antrim County Airport does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at KCIU, located approximately 82 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from abroad need to route clearance through that facility before or after operating into KACB. Dispatchers should plan the additional routing and timing this implies when building an international itinerary through Antrim County.
What runway does KACB offer for arriving business aircraft?
KACB has a single runway, 02/20, measuring 5,003 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the airport's only paved surface and matches the field's maximum paved length. The runway is served by REIL and PAPI lighting on both ends, along with MIRL, all pilot-controlled through CTAF. There is no tower at Antrim County, so all runway lighting activation depends on radio-triggered systems rather than an air traffic control operator.
What fuel is available at Antrim County Airport?
Antrim County Airport stocks 100LL and A+ fuel, and Jet A is also available on the field. The airport's attendance schedule runs seven days a week from 0700 to 1700 local. Outside those posted hours, fuel service is handled through an after-hours procedure rather than routine attended service. Crews planning early or late arrivals at KACB should coordinate fuel needs in advance given the limited attended window.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KACB?
Business aviation activity at Antrim County Airport concentrates heavily in the summer months. July is the peak month with 129 operations, followed by August at 103 and September at 77, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. Winter months see a small fraction of that volume, with January and February each under ten operations. Dispatchers scheduling summer trips into KACB should anticipate a noticeably busier ramp and pattern compared to the rest of the year.
Are there any wildlife or winter operational hazards noted for KACB?
Antrim County Airport carries a published remark for large birds on and in the vicinity of the airport, which crews should factor into approach and departure planning. Separately, snow removal equipment operates on the runway and taxiways during winter months, so pilots should expect possible equipment presence on the movement area in that season. Neither hazard is unusual for a Michigan general aviation field, but both are specifically documented for KACB rather than assumed. Coordination on CTAF is advisable when either condition may be active.
