Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KEGV / Eagle River Union Airport?
KEGV, Eagle River Union Airport, does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KGRB, located roughly 99 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international points need to plan a stop at KGRB or another customs airport of entry before or after landing at Eagle River. Dispatchers should factor this distance into routing and fuel planning for any cross-border itinerary touching this field.
What fuel is available at Eagle River Union Airport?
Eagle River Union Airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, listed in airport data as A+ grade. Fuel is available on a 24-hour self-service basis using a credit card, according to the airport remarks. This makes KEGV usable for after-hours fuel stops without needing to coordinate staffed hours in advance. Pilots should still confirm system status directly given the unattended nature of the setup.
How long are the runways at KEGV?
Eagle River Union Airport, KEGV, has two paved runways available for fixed-wing traffic. Runway 04/22 is the longer of the two at 5,000 feet by 76 feet, surfaced in asphalt. Runway 13/31 measures 3,400 feet by 60 feet, also asphalt. A short paved helipad, designated H1, is listed separately at 60 by 60 feet for rotorcraft.
Does Eagle River Union Airport have a control tower?
Eagle River Union Airport, KEGV, is a non-towered field, meaning traffic is managed by pilots using the common frequency rather than by air traffic control. The airport does list an attendance schedule of 0830 to 1700 daily, but this reflects staffed hours rather than tower operation. Clearance delivery for IFR traffic is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC rather than a local tower. Pilots operating at KEGV should expect standard uncontrolled-airport procedures at all times.
Is business aviation traffic at KEGV seasonal?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Eagle River Union Airport is strongly seasonal according to FAA TFMSC data. Monthly operations rise from single digits in the winter months to a peak of 188 operations in July, with June, August, and September also well above the winter baseline. Traffic then falls off sharply again by November and December. Dispatchers scheduling summer trips into KEGV should expect a noticeably busier operating environment than in the cold months.
