Frequently asked questions
What runway does KKT offer for business aircraft?
Kentland Municipal Airport (KKT) has one paved runway, 09/27, measuring 4,004 feet long and 60 feet wide with a concrete surface. This is the airport's only runway, so operators planning approaches should note the field has no crosswind alternative. The runway length aligns with the airport's max paved distance figure, confirming it as the primary and sole operating surface.
Is customs clearance available at Kentland Municipal Airport?
Kentland Municipal Airport (KKT) does not have an onsite customs facility. The nearest customs clearance point is Gary / Chicago International Airport (KGYY), located approximately 51.55 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs processing should plan to route through KGYY rather than expecting service at KKT itself.
What fuel is available at KKT?
Kentland Municipal Airport (KKT) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, dispensed through self-serve facilities available 24/7 according to airport remarks. This continuous self-serve access means fuel is not tied to the airport's staffed attendance hours. Operators should still verify current fuel status directly given the unattended nature of the dispensing setup.

An unlighted power line rises 37 feet, located 1,267 feet from the west end and marked with red balls, while crops along the runway reach 10 feet in height within 125 feet of the centerline. A grain leg obstruction of 70 feet also stands 185 feet north of centerline near the runway end. Pilots should account for these when planning approach and departure paths.
