Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KEDJ?
Bellefontaine Regional (KEDJ) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs airport of entry is Dayton (KDAY), located approximately 33.67 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from abroad need to route their clearance through that facility rather than at KEDJ itself. Dispatchers planning international legs into Bellefontaine should coordinate customs processing at KDAY ahead of arrival. This distance should factor into fuel and routing calculations for any international itinerary ending at Bellefontaine Regional.
What runway does Bellefontaine Regional Airport offer?
Bellefontaine Regional Airport (KEDJ) has a single runway, designated 07/25. It is 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. This length matches the airport's maximum paved runway length, meaning 07/25 is the only paved runway available for operations. The single-runway layout means aircraft performance and wind considerations should be checked carefully against this one strip, since there is no crosswind alternative on the field.
Is KEDJ a towered airport, and how is traffic managed?
KEDJ, Bellefontaine Regional, is not a towered airport. Pilots use CTAF for runway lighting activation, including the REIL on runway 07 and 25 and the MIRL for runway 07/25. The PAPI on both runway 07 and runway 25 operates continuously rather than being pilot-activated. For clearance delivery, the field directs pilots to contact Columbus Approach rather than a local tower, since Bellefontaine has no tower of its own.
What fuel is available at Bellefontaine Regional Airport (KEDJ)?
Bellefontaine Regional Airport (KEDJ) stocks both 100LL and A1+ jet fuel, and the field reports having jet fuel onsite. The airport's attendance schedule runs 0800 to dusk on weekdays and 0800 to 1700 on weekends, which corresponds to the hours fuel service can be expected. Business aviation traffic at KEDJ, drawn from FAA TFMSC 2025 data, totaled 760 operations for the year, indicating a working level of turbine traffic that fuel planning should account for.
When is business aviation traffic highest at Bellefontaine Regional (KEDJ)?
Business aviation traffic at Bellefontaine Regional (KEDJ) is concentrated in specific months rather than spread evenly through the year, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. November recorded the highest monthly count at 90 operations, followed by August at 87 and May at 80. The lowest months were March at 41 operations and February at 47. Dispatchers scheduling flexible trips into KEDJ may find slot availability tighter during these higher-traffic months.
