Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KFAT?
Fresno Yosemite International operates two parallel paved runways. Runway 11L/29R measures 9,539 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Runway 11R/29L measures 8,008 feet long and 150 feet wide, also asphalt. Both runways carry arresting cable systems and blast pads at each end, reflecting the field's joint civil-military use. The longer runway, 11L/29R, is the field's max paved length figure.
Does KFAT have customs and border processing on site?
Yes, Fresno Yosemite International has CBP inspection services available on site, along with a USDA compliance agreement covering agricultural inspection. This allows international arrivals to clear without diverting to another airport for federal processing. Operators should still coordinate with the relevant agencies ahead of arrival given the compliance agreement structure in place. KFAT's customs setup supports its role as a towered, public-use field with year-round business aviation traffic.
Is there an arresting cable system on the runways at Fresno Yosemite International?
Yes, KFAT has retractable BAK-12/14 arresting gear on both Runway 11L and Runway 29R, kept in a recessed position until needed. Tower must be notified at least 5 seconds before engagement so the cable can be raised. A separate MB-100 arresting cable is installed at the Runway 11R blast pad, but it serves Runway 29L departures only. On the military side, the Runway 29R and 11L A-gear cable defaults to the down position and is only made available upon request from the Air National Guard unit.

Fresno Yosemite International is designated noise sensitive and noise abatement procedures are in effect. Multiple approaches and landings are not permitted Monday through Saturday from 2200 to 0700 local, and Sunday from 1800 to 1000 local. Crews planning touch-and-go work or repeated patterns should schedule around these windows. The restriction applies specifically to the practice of multiple approaches and landings rather than to all operations during those hours.
