Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KCNO?
Chino Airport, identified as KCNO, operates three paved asphalt runways. The longest is 08R/26L at 7,000 feet by 150 feet, suitable for the widest range of business aircraft. Runway 03/21 measures 4,919 feet by 150 feet, and runway 08L/26R measures 4,858 feet by 150 feet. All three runways share the same 150-foot width. This layout gives dispatchers multiple options depending on wind and traffic conditions at the tower.
Is jet fuel available at Chino Airport?
Chino Airport, KCNO, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours a day according to airport remarks. The field carries an ALL / ALL / ALL attendance schedule, meaning services operate every day of the year. This makes fuel access straightforward for operators arriving outside standard business hours. No fuel brand or supplier is specified in the airport data.
Does KCNO have on-site customs clearance?
Chino Airport does not have customs available on site. The nearest customs facility is at Ontario International Airport, KONT, located 5.18 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance should plan to route through KONT instead of KCNO. Because Chino sits so close to Ontario, this diversion adds minimal distance to most itineraries. Dispatchers should confirm KONT customs hours and slot requirements separately, as that information is not part of the Chino record.
What happens to runway lighting at Chino when the tower is closed?
At Chino Airport, KCNO, several lighting systems switch to pilot-activated status when the control tower closes. MIRL is turned on for runway 03/21, HIRL for runway 08L/26R, and MIRL for runway 08R/26L. PAPI systems on runways 26R, 08R, 26L, 03, and 21 operate continuously regardless of tower status. REIL on runways 03 and 21 also runs continuously. Pilots should be aware that clearance delivery after tower closure is handled through SoCal Approach rather than local ground control.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KCNO?
Business aviation traffic at Chino Airport is concentrated in specific months rather than spread evenly through the year. March recorded the highest monthly count at 439 operations, followed by November at 411 and May at 423. February was the slowest month at 314 operations. This pattern, based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025, is worth factoring into scheduling around peak periods. Annual business aviation operations at KCNO totaled 4,550 out of 7,762 overall operations for the year.
