Frequently asked questions
What runway does KGNT offer for arriving aircraft?
Grants-Milan Municipal offers a single paved runway, 13/31, measuring 7,172 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the airport's only runway, so aircraft operations are limited to this one alignment regardless of wind direction. The length is generous for a field at this elevation, supporting a range of business aviation traffic. There is no parallel or crosswind runway available at KGNT.
Is customs available on site at Grants-Milan Municipal?
Grants-Milan Municipal does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs point of entry is KABQ, located approximately 64 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring customs clearance need to route through that facility rather than clearing directly at KGNT. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should account for this additional leg or coordination step when routing through Grants-Milan Municipal.
What fuel is available at KGNT?
Grants-Milan Municipal stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-service fuel is available using a credit card for 100LL, and a Jet A truck is available on the field. Operators requesting fuel service outside the posted attendance hours should note that an after-hours call-out fee applies through the airport manager. The airport's attendance schedule runs daily from 0800 to 1700 local time.
How busy is Grants-Milan Municipal in terms of business aviation traffic?
Grants-Milan Municipal, identified by the code KGNT, recorded 799 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 1,049 total annual operations at the field. Traffic varies noticeably by month, with September reaching 96 operations and April dropping to just 10. Most months show business aviation counts in the 60 to 90 range. This variation is worth factoring into scheduling and slot planning for operators using KGNT.
Are there any wildlife or lighting considerations for pilots at KGNT?
Grants-Milan Municipal has recorded wildlife activity on or in the vicinity of the airport, which pilots should factor into their situational awareness during arrival and departure. The runway edge lighting, MIRL for runway 13/31, is pilot-controlled and activated via CTAF rather than running continuously or being staffed by a tower. For clearance delivery coordination, KGNT directs pilots to contact Albuquerque ARTCC. These operational notes are relevant for crews planning night or early-morning operations at the field.
