Frequently asked questions
Is Jet A fuel available at KMYJ outside normal hours?
Jet A fuel is available at Mexico Memorial Airport (KMYJ), but after-hours service requires a call to the airport manager rather than automated access. The 100LL grade, by contrast, runs on a 24-hour credit card fueling system with no attendant needed. Dispatchers planning arrivals outside the posted attendance schedule should account for this difference when fuel type matters.
What runway does KMYJ offer for larger business aircraft?
Runway 06/24 at Mexico Memorial Airport (KMYJ) is the primary paved surface, measuring 5,501 feet long and 100 feet wide with a concrete surface. A secondary runway, 18/36, is shorter at 3,200 feet and 50 feet wide, surfaced in asphalt-concrete. The longer runway suits most business aviation traffic seen at this field.
Does KMYJ have on-site customs clearance?
Mexico Memorial Airport (KMYJ) does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is at KSUS, located approximately 62 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport or coordinate arrangements before arrival, since KMYJ itself offers no such processing.

Business aviation traffic at Mexico Memorial Airport (KMYJ) peaks in October, with 22 operations recorded, followed by November at 19 and May at 16, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025.
