What kind of business aviation traffic does 40U (Manila) see?
Manila airport (40U) recorded 2 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, all logged in December. This is a low-volume, unattended field in Daggett County, Utah, and dispatchers should not expect any on-field services or staffing. Flight planning should treat this as a remote strip rather than a regularly serviced destination.
Is there fuel available at Manila (40U)?
Fuel type and availability are not established for Manila airport (40U) in current data. Given the unattended status of the field, crews should plan to arrive with sufficient fuel reserves and not rely on services being available on arrival. Confirming fuel status directly before dispatch is advisable for this location.
How long is the runway at KSLC-area airport 40U in Manila, UT?
Manila airport (40U) has a single paved runway, 07/25, measuring 5,305 feet by 60 feet with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's maximum paved runway length, so it defines the largest aircraft that can realistically operate here. There is no tower, and the field is unattended, so runway condition reporting depends on other sources.
Where is the nearest customs facility to 40U Manila?
The nearest customs facility to Manila airport (40U) is at KSLC, located approximately 105 nautical miles away. Manila itself has no onsite customs processing, so any international arrival must be routed and cleared through that facility instead. Dispatchers planning international legs into this area should factor that distance into routing and timing decisions.
