Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KHEQ?
KHEQ, Holyoke Municipal Airport, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field operates on an irregular attendance schedule, so fuel service during normal hours or after hours requires a phone call ahead. Dispatchers should plan for this call rather than assuming an attendant will be on site. Confirming fuel access before arrival avoids delays at this Colorado field.
Does Holyoke Municipal Airport have customs service on site?
Holyoke Municipal Airport has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at KDEN, located about 118 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KDEN or another customs airport before or after using KHEQ. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for cross-border flights.
What is the runway length at KHEQ?
KHEQ has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 5,000 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's maximum paved runway length, matching the field's overall paved surface capacity. The single-runway layout means wind conditions on runway heading 14/32 determine usability for a given operation. There is no crosswind runway option at this Colorado field.
When does business aviation traffic peak at Holyoke Municipal Airport?
Business aviation traffic at Holyoke Municipal Airport concentrates in the warmer months, with September recording the highest count at 78 operations in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data. May through October each saw activity above 30 operations, while winter months from November through February stayed in single digits. Dispatchers planning trips into KHEQ should expect more traffic and less predictable airport availability during the fall peak.
