Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KEPM?
Yes, Eastport Municipal Airport (KEPM) has CBP inspection services available onsite. This allows international arrivals to clear customs directly at the field rather than diverting to another airport. Crews should still confirm procedures in advance given the airport's on-call attendance schedule and unstaffed tower status.
What fuel types are available at Eastport Municipal Airport?
Eastport Municipal Airport (KEPM) offers both 100LL and Jet A, along with A+ fuel. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours with credit card payment. The Jet A pump, however, is limited to over-wing gravity refueling operations, which may affect turn times for larger jet aircraft.
What is the runway length at KEPM?
KEPM has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 4,002 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the airport's only runway, so wind conditions and the noted close-in obstructions near the thresholds are relevant factors for approach planning. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option at this field.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at Eastport Municipal Airport?
Business aviation traffic at Eastport Municipal Airport (KEPM) concentrates in the warmer months, peaking in October, August, and June according to FAA TFMSC data. Winter months, particularly January, see minimal to no recorded business aviation operations. Dispatchers planning trips outside the June-through-October window should expect a quieter field with fewer based operational patterns.
