Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KFLG?
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at Scottsdale Airport (KSDL), located approximately 92 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international points need to plan a stop at KSDL or another customs airport before or after using KFLG. This distance should factor into fuel planning and routing for any international itinerary touching Flagstaff.
What is the runway configuration at Flagstaff Pulliam?
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport operates a single runway, 03/21, with an asphalt surface measuring 8,800 feet long and 150 feet wide. This is the only paved runway serving KFLG, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this strip regardless of wind direction. Runway 21 is designated as the calm wind runway. Pilots should expect wind shear and turbulence reports on Runway 21 when surface winds exceed 10 knots.
How does winter weather affect operations at KFLG?
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport sits at 7,015 feet elevation and experiences significant winter weather. According to the climate data, January and December each average around 30 days below freezing and over 4 days with snow accumulation of at least one inch. Snow removal equipment may be present on the runway during these periods, and the airport can close entirely during active snow removal operations. Dispatchers should build schedule flexibility into winter operations at this field.
What happens at KFLG when the control tower is closed?
When the tower at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is closed, several procedures shift to pilot control or remote monitoring.

Clearance delivery functions transfer to Phoenix Approach, and airport maintenance can be reached on frequency 134.55 for snow-related issues.
