Frequently asked questions
Does KDUG have customs available for international arrivals?
Yes, CBP inspection services are available on site at Bisbee Douglas International. This makes KDUG a practical option for flights arriving from Mexico given its location near the border. Operators should still coordinate arrival timing with CBP directly, as the airport itself is not staffed around the clock. The field sits at 4,150 feet elevation in southeastern Arizona.
What runway options does Bisbee Douglas International offer?
KDUG has two paved asphalt runways: 17/35 at 6,430 feet by 100 feet, and 08/26 at 4,966 feet by 60 feet. Both surfaces support a range of business aircraft, with 17/35 being the longer and wider of the two. Runway 08/26 carries a published approach slope note tied to aircraft tail height at the threshold, worth reviewing before planning an approach there.
Is fuel available at KDUG, and what type?
Bisbee Douglas International stocks both 100LL and Jet A+ fuel, with self-service arrangements noted through the airport manager. The field is attended Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1500 local time, outside of which self-serve fuel remains the practical option. Pilots operating outside attended hours should plan fueling accordingly, since no staffed line service is guaranteed then.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KDUG?
Business aviation activity at Bisbee Douglas International concentrates in the winter and early spring months, with January and February showing the highest monthly operations counts in the 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Traffic tapers through the summer months, with July recording the lowest activity of the year. Total annual business aviation operations at KDUG were reported at 103 for the year.
