Frequently asked questions
Does KCOE have customs available for international arrivals?
Yes, Coeur d'Alene Airport (KCOE) has CBP inspection services available onsite along with a USDA compliance agreement. This allows aircraft arriving from abroad to clear customs directly at the field rather than diverting to another port of entry. Crews should coordinate arrival details in advance given the airport is non-towered. The combination of onsite CBP and USDA coverage supports agricultural cargo as well as passenger clearance. No nearby alternate customs airport is listed, reflecting that KCOE handles this function directly.
What runways are available at KCOE for business aircraft?
Coeur d'Alene Airport (KCOE) offers two paved asphalt runways. Runway 06/24 is the longer of the pair at 7,400 feet by 100 feet wide, suitable for most business jet operations. Runway 02/20 measures 5,400 feet by 75 feet, providing a secondary option depending on wind conditions. Both runways carry PCR pavement values, with 06/24 rated higher at 600/F / B/X / T versus 480/F / A/X / T for 02/20. Runway lighting includes MIRL, HIRL, REIL, and MALSR depending on the specific runway end, all activated via CTAF.
Is fuel available at KCOE outside attended hours?
Fuel service at Coeur d'Alene Airport (KCOE) during posted hours runs daily from 0700 to 1700 local time. Outside those hours, self-service fuel is available using a credit card, covering both 100LL and Jet A, since the airport lists Jet A as available. This after-hours self-service option means crews arriving late or departing early are not dependent on staffed hours to fuel up. Dispatchers should still confirm operational status of the self-service pump before planning a tight turnaround at KCOE.
How busy does traffic get at KCOE during peak season?
Business aviation traffic at Coeur d'Alene Airport (KCOE) is heavily concentrated in the summer months. July sees the highest volume at 1,268 operations, followed closely by August at 1,133, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. This compares to a low of 275 operations in February. The seasonal swing reflects a pattern typical of a recreational-destination airport, with traffic more than quadrupling from winter lows to summer peaks. Planners scheduling flights into KCOE during July or August should anticipate a busier ramp environment than the annual average of 8,667 total operations would suggest.
What operational hazards or restrictions should crews know before flying into KCOE?
Coeur d'Alene Airport (KCOE) reports migratory bird activity on and in the vicinity of the airport during October and November, a factor worth noting for arrival and departure planning in those months. Runway conditions are not monitored daily between 5 PM and 7 AM, so pilots operating during those overnight hours should exercise added caution regarding surface conditions. Parachute jump activity has also been reported in the vicinity of the field. Clearance delivery is available on a discrete frequency, with Spokane Approach as the backup contact if that frequency is unreachable.
