Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KPWT?
Bremerton National Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KTIW, located 15.35 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KTIW or another customs-equipped airport before or after using KPWT. This distance is short enough for a quick repositioning leg but should still be factored into trip planning and slot timing. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures and hours directly with KTIW ahead of arrival.
What fuel is available at KPWT?
Bremerton National Airport, KPWT, stocks both 100LL and Jet A. A 24-hour fuel terminal sits 300 feet west-southwest of taxiway A4, but that self-serve point dispenses 100LL only. Jet A fuel is available through the field's standard attendance schedule, which runs Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1630 local. Operators needing Jet A outside those hours should plan fueling before or after the attended window. Crews relying solely on self-serve after hours should note it covers piston fuel, not jet fuel.
What is the runway length at KPWT?
Bremerton National Airport has a single paved runway, 02/20, measuring 6,000 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also listed as the field's max paved length, meaning no other runway offers additional distance. The width of 150 feet is generous and accommodates a wide range of business aircraft. There is no crosswind runway, so aircraft operating at KPWT must work with runway 02/20's orientation regardless of wind direction. Pilots should account for this single-runway configuration when planning alternates in gusty conditions.
Are there obstacles near the runway at KPWT?
Bremerton National Airport reports two close-in obstructions near runway 02/20. One is a rise of 6 feet located 25 feet from the runway end and 250 feet to the right. The other is a fence, also 6 feet high, running from the runway end to 200 feet beyond it, positioned 300 feet to the right. Both obstructions sit close to the runway end and to one side, so crews should review approach and departure paths accordingly, particularly on the runway end where these are charted. This detail matters most for operators flying visual patterns or short-field procedures.
When does business aviation traffic peak at KPWT?
Business aviation traffic at Bremerton National Airport, KPWT, is concentrated in the warmer months of the year according to FAA TFMSC data. May recorded 195 operations and August recorded 191, the two highest months in the 2025 traffic year. By contrast, February saw only 62 operations, the lowest point in the annual cycle. Dispatchers scheduling trips into KPWT during May through August should expect a busier traffic environment than in the winter months. This seasonal pattern is worth factoring into slot and parking planning during peak months.
