Frequently asked questions
Does KDGL have customs available for international flights?
Yes, Douglas Municipal (KDGL) offers onsite CBP inspection services for arriving international traffic. This makes it a viable crossing point for aircraft transiting between the United States and Mexico. Operators should confirm current customs procedures directly with CBP before planning a stop, since inspection availability can be subject to staffing and scheduling.
What are the runway options at Douglas Municipal?
Douglas Municipal has two runways: 03/21, a paved asphalt strip 5,760 feet long and 75 feet wide, and 18/36, a 4,095-foot dirt runway 100 feet wide. The paved runway 03/21 is the primary option for most business aircraft given its surface and length. Operators should note that runway 18/36 is unpaved and requires appropriate aircraft capability.
Is fuel available at KDGL outside staffed hours?
Fuel at Douglas Municipal is available on a 24-hour basis using a credit card, according to airport remarks. Both 100LL and Jet A grades are offered at the field. Attended service otherwise runs Monday through Friday, roughly between 0600 and 1400 local, so self-service fueling extends access beyond those posted hours.
Are there approach lighting limitations at KDGL?
Yes, the PAPI visual glideslope indicators for both runway 03 and runway 21 at Douglas Municipal (KDGL) are out of service indefinitely. Airport lighting otherwise operates from dusk to dawn. Pilots planning arrivals during low-light conditions should account for the lack of PAPI guidance on either runway end and rely on alternate means of vertical guidance.
