Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KLEE?
Leesburg International, KLEE, operates two paved runways for landplanes. Runway 13/31 is the longer of the two at 6,300 feet by 100 feet, with an asphalt surface. Runway 04/22 measures 4,957 feet by 100 feet, also asphalt. A third designation, 03W/21W, is a 15,000-foot by 2,000-foot water surface, not a conventional paved runway. Both landplane runways carry a maximum paved length of 6,300 feet for the field.
Is fuel available at KLEE around the clock?
Leesburg International, KLEE, offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel through a 24-hour self-serve setup according to airport remarks. This means pilots can obtain fuel outside the field's staffed attendance hours without needing personnel on site. The airport's published attendance schedule runs 0700 to 1900 daily, but self-serve fuel access extends beyond those hours. Dispatchers planning off-hour arrivals at KLEE should still confirm current self-serve equipment status before relying on it for a fuel stop.
Does KLEE have customs clearance capability?
Leesburg International, KLEE, has CBP inspection services available onsite, according to the airport's customs data. This means arriving international flights can be processed for customs directly at the field rather than being routed to a nearby port of entry. As a US airport, this designation applies without the Canadian-style restrictions seen at some other North American fields. Crews planning an international arrival at KLEE should still coordinate CBP notification in advance, since onsite availability does not eliminate standard advance notice requirements.
What obstructions affect approaches at KLEE?
Leesburg International, KLEE, has several charted obstructions near its runway ends that affect approach planning. One runway end has 25-foot trees located 235 feet left of centerline and 100 feet from the runway end, while an 11-foot berm spans the full runway width 81 feet from another end. Brush up to 5 feet tall lies within the primary surface near one approach, and a separate remark notes unlighted 30-foot obstructions 440 feet before the runway 04 approach end. Approach slopes on affected runway ends range as low as 20:1 and 21:1 where controlling obstructions exceed a 45-degree slope, so crews should review current instrument procedures for the affected runway ends at KLEE.
How busy is business aviation traffic at KLEE, and does it vary by season?
Leesburg International, KLEE, recorded 4,179 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 6,453 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic is not flat across the year: March is the busiest month with 419 business aviation operations, while August is the slowest with 268. The spring months of March through May and the fall months of October through December all run above 370 operations, while the summer months of June through September trend lower. Dispatchers scheduling flexible trips to KLEE may find summer months somewhat less congested than the spring and fall peaks.
