Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available on-site at KCSG?
Columbus Airport, KCSG, does not have customs clearance on-site. The nearest customs facility is at KMCN, located approximately 66 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing should plan to clear at KMCN before or after their KCSG operation. Dispatchers should factor this into routing for any international arrival at Columbus Airport, as no customs officer is stationed at the field itself.
What runway options does KCSG offer for business jet operations?
KCSG offers two paved runways: 06/24 at 6,997 feet by 150 feet on concrete, and 13/31 at 3,997 feet by 75 feet on asphalt. Runway 06/24 is the primary surface for larger business jets given its length and width. Runway 13/31 carries a restriction barring Part 121 and Part 380 scheduled operations above 9 passenger seats and non-scheduled operations above 30 passenger seats. Operators of larger charter aircraft at Columbus Airport should plan around this limitation when assigning runway 13/31.
What fuel is available at Columbus Airport (KCSG)?
Columbus Airport, KCSG, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours a day, giving operators flexibility outside staffed hours. Jet A service is also offered, though its specific availability schedule is not distinguished from the field's general attendance schedule of continuous, all-day coverage. Dispatchers planning fuel stops at KCSG can count on round-the-clock access to 100LL through self-service pumps.
When are the runway lights and approach aids operating at KCSG?
At Columbus Airport, all runway and taxiway lighting operates from 0900 to 2100 local. After 2100, pilots must activate lighting themselves via CTAF, including the MALSR on runway 06, REIL on runway 24, PAPI on runways 06 and 24, HIRL on runway 06/24, MIRL on runway 13/31, taxiway lights, and windcone lights. REIL and PAPI on runways 13 and 31 run continuously regardless of time. Arrivals to KCSG after 2100 should be ready to key the CTAF frequency for lighting.
How is business aviation traffic distributed through the year at KCSG?
Business aviation traffic at Columbus Airport, KCSG, is notably concentrated in the spring months. April recorded 594 operations and May 556, the two highest months of 2025 per FAA TFMSC data. Traffic drops sharply in the fall, with September at 166 operations and October at 162, the lowest points of the year. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KCSG during September and October can expect lighter business aviation activity compared to the spring peak.
