Frequently asked questions
What is the runway configuration at KHZL?
Hazleton Regional Airport has a single paved runway, designated 10/28, measuring 5,001 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the field, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this strip regardless of wind direction. At 5,001 feet, the runway accommodates most business jet types operating into KHZL. There is no parallel or crosswind runway available as an alternative.
Is customs clearance available at KHZL?
Hazleton Regional Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is Wilkes-Barre / Scranton International Airport (KAVP), located approximately 24.4 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international destinations need to plan a stop at KAVP or another customs-equipped airport before or in place of landing at KHZL. This routing should be factored into flight planning for any inbound international leg.
What are the approach obstacle clearance slopes at KHZL?
KHZL publishes different approach slope values for each runway end. Runway 10 has an approach slope of 25:1 to the displaced threshold, while Runway 28 has a slightly steeper slope of 26:1 to its displaced threshold. Both figures describe the obstruction clearance surface gradient on approach, which crews should cross-reference against current charts. These values are specific to Hazleton Regional Airport and should be reviewed during approach planning.
When is fuel service available at Hazleton Regional Airport?
Hazleton Regional Airport, listed under ICAO code KHZL, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The airport's general attendance schedule runs Monday through Wednesday from 0600 to 1600 and Thursday through Sunday from 0730 to 1600. Fuel service outside these posted hours is available only by prior request. Crews planning arrivals outside the standard attendance window should arrange after-hours fuel in advance.
Is deicing service available at KHZL?
Hazleton Regional Airport offers Type 1 and Type 4 deicing fluid service. This dual-type availability supports both immediate ice and frost removal and extended holdover protection for departures in cold-weather conditions. Given the airport's non-towered status and set attendance hours, crews should coordinate deicing needs with field operations ahead of arrival. This service is a relevant planning point for winter operations into KHZL.
