Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KBNO?
Burns Municipal Airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is unattended, so pilots should plan fueling logistics accordingly rather than expecting on-call service. There is no control tower at KBNO, and lighting for the runways and approach systems is activated via CTAF rather than staffed personnel.
What is the runway configuration at Burns Municipal Airport?

Both runways are equipped with medium intensity runway lighting, and each end has either PAPI, VASI, or REIL approach lighting aids, all activated via CTAF since the field is unattended.
Can international flights clear customs at KBNO?
Burns Municipal Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-designated airport is Boise (KBOI), located approximately 119 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance should plan to route through KBOI or coordinate clearance arrangements in advance rather than expecting service at KBNO directly.
What wildlife hazards should pilots expect at KBNO?
Pilots operating at Burns Municipal Airport should be aware of flocks of large birds in the vicinity of the airport during February through May and again in September through October. This seasonal bird activity coincides with migratory periods and warrants extra vigilance during approach and departure phases at KBNO in those months.
