Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Indianapolis Regional Airport (KMQJ) sits roughly 12.87 nautical miles from the Indianapolis metro area, serving as a business aviation option in the region without an onsite control tower. The field pairs a 6,005-foot primary runway with a shorter secondary runway carrying passenger-seat restrictions, and it lacks onsite customs clearance, with KIND standing as the nearest facility for that purpose. Several general aviation and business aviation fields lie within a short radius, including Indianapolis Metro and Indianapolis Executive, giving crews alternate options nearby when planning routings through the area.

Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KMQJ for international arrivals?
Indianapolis Regional Airport (KMQJ) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at KIND, located approximately 19.81 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KIND or coordinate clearance through that airport before continuing to KMQJ. Dispatchers should factor this detour into routing and timing for any trip requiring federal inspection services. No CANPASS or other alternative arrangement is noted for this field.
What runway options does KMQJ offer for business aircraft?
KMQJ has two paved runways available to business aviation traffic. Runway 07/25 is the primary surface at 6,005 feet long and 100 feet wide, with an asphalt surface suitable for most midsize and larger jet operations. Runway 16/34 measures 3,902 feet long and 75 feet wide with a concrete surface, but it carries a restriction. Aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats are not permitted to use runway 16/34 or taxiway B at Indianapolis Regional Airport.
Does Indianapolis Regional Airport have air traffic control?
Indianapolis Regional Airport is a non-towered field, meaning there is no onsite air traffic control tower. Pilots operating at KMQJ communicate on CTAF for traffic advisories and runway lighting activation. High intensity runway lights on runway 07/25 and the MALSR approach lighting system on runway 25 are pilot-controlled through CTAF during dusk-to-dawn hours. For clearance delivery, IFR traffic is directed to contact Indianapolis Approach rather than a local tower frequency.
What fuel is available at KMQJ?
Indianapolis Regional Airport stocks 100LL avgas along with Jet A and Jet A+ fuel grades. The field operates on an attendance schedule of 0600 to 2200 daily, all days of the week. Fuel and service inquiries outside standard channels are directed to a discrete frequency per field remarks, rather than a phone contact. Crews planning fuel stops at KMQJ should coordinate arrival timing within the published attendance window to ensure service availability.
How busy is KMQJ and when does traffic peak?
Indianapolis Regional Airport (KMQJ) recorded 7,426 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with business aviation accounting for 6,318 of those operations. Monthly business aviation traffic ranges from a low of 427 operations in January to a peak of 639 operations in October.
