Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Northern Aroostook Regional Airport (KFVE / WFK) serves Frenchville, Maine, near the top of Aroostook County close to the Canadian border. The field is unattended outside its posted schedule and handles a small, business-aviation-heavy traffic pool typical of a rural border airport. A single paved runway supports the mix of piston and turbine traffic that files into the area, and CBP inspection services onsite give it a customs role that larger regional fields nearby do not offer.

Northern Aroostook Regional has one paved runway, 14/32, 4,600 ft long and 75 ft wide, with an asphalt surface.

Frequently asked questions
Does KFVE have customs clearance available?
Yes, Northern Aroostook Regional Airport (KFVE) has CBP inspection services available onsite. This gives operators crossing from Canada a direct clearance option rather than routing to a nearby customs airport. Given the field's location near the New Brunswick border, this onsite capability is a key operational feature for cross-border flights into WFK.
What runway is available at Northern Aroostook Regional Airport?
Northern Aroostook Regional Airport has one paved runway, 14/32, measuring 4,600 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving KFVE, so all fixed-wing arrivals and departures use this strip regardless of wind direction. The runway length supports most light and midsize business aircraft operating into the field.
What lighting is available at KFVE for arrivals?
KFVE offers pilot-activated runway lighting: REIL on both Runway 14 and Runway 32, a PAPI on Runway 32, and MIRL covering the full 14/32 runway. All of this lighting is activated via CTAF since the airport is not towered. Pilots planning arrivals outside daylight hours at Northern Aroostook Regional should be ready to key the CTAF frequency to bring the lights up.
Is fuel available at Northern Aroostook Regional Airport after hours?
Northern Aroostook Regional Airport (KFVE) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, but after-hours fuel service requires a call to the airport manager. During the posted attendance schedule, fuel is handled through normal staffed operations. Operators planning an after-hours stop at WFK should arrange fuel access in advance rather than assuming self-service availability.
