Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KEIK?
Erie Municipal Airport does not have customs available onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KBJC, located approximately 6.87 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing should plan to clear at that location rather than at KEIK. Dispatchers should confirm hours and procedures directly with the customs facility before scheduling arrival.
What fuel is available at Erie Municipal Airport?
Erie Municipal Airport (KEIK) offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-service fueling is available around the clock using a credit card. This makes KEIK usable outside the field's staffed attendance hours for aircraft that can use self-service pumps. Confirm current fuel availability before arrival, as self-service systems can be affected by outages.

KEIK has a single paved runway, designated 16/34, measuring 4,700 feet by 60 feet with a concrete surface. Runway 16 has an activated REIL, and both runway ends are served by PAPI, with MIRL lighting on the full runway, all controlled via CTAF. Pilots should note terrain reported 60 to 70 feet east of the centerline along the full runway length, as well as ditches near both runway ends.
When is Erie Municipal Airport staffed?
Erie Municipal Airport, identifier KEIK, is attended Monday through Saturday from 0800 to 1700 local time and Sunday from 0800 to 1400. The field is non-towered, so CTAF procedures apply at all times regardless of attendance hours. Self-service fuel remains available outside these hours. Traffic at KEIK is seasonal, with business aviation activity notably higher in August than in other months.
