Frequently asked questions
What customs procedures apply at CYBR?
Brandon Municipal Airport holds AOE/15 customs status, meaning customs clearance is available onsite but limited to fifteen persons per aircraft. Dispatchers arranging international arrivals into CYBR need to confirm passenger and crew counts stay within that limit before filing. This designation applies specifically to general aviation traffic clearing at the field rather than commercial airline processing. Operators exceeding the fifteen-person threshold should plan clearance at an alternate airport of entry with a higher capacity rating.
What runway options does Brandon Municipal Airport offer?
Brandon Municipal Airport, identified as CYBR, has two runways available to arriving traffic. Runway 08/26 is the primary paved surface, measuring 6,500 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface, suitable for a wide range of business aircraft. Runway 14/32 is a shorter, unpaved gravel strip at 3,000 feet by 60 feet, better suited to smaller aircraft or specific operational needs. The paved runway length also matches the airport's maximum paved runway figure, confirming it as the longest usable surface at the field.

October follows as the second-busiest month with 95 operations, while the slower months of April and May each saw around 53 to 54 operations. This pattern reflects a clear seasonal peak in mid-to-late summer at CYBR.
