Frequently asked questions
Does KCNY have customs on-site for international arrivals?
Canyonlands Field (KCNY) has no on-site customs processing. The nearest customs facility is KEGE, located approximately 142 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international points need to plan a customs stop at that airport, or another facility, before or after operating into KCNY. Dispatchers should factor this distance into routing and fuel planning for any flight requiring a customs clearance near Moab, Utah.
What runway options are available at Canyonlands Regional Airport?
Canyonlands Regional Airport offers two runways. Runway 03/21 is paved asphalt, 7,360 feet long and 100 feet wide, suitable for most business jet traffic. Runway 15/33 is a shorter 2,121-foot gravel strip at 60 feet wide. That gravel runway carries a published restriction against certain scheduled and non-scheduled passenger operations above specific seat-count thresholds, so operators should confirm eligibility before planning to use it.

KCNY stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is attended from 0800 to 1800 local from March through October, and from 0900 to 1700 local from November through February. Outside those windows, services are unattended. Dispatchers planning arrivals or fuel uplifts at Canyonlands Regional Airport should schedule around the seasonal attendance hours, particularly for shoulder-season flights near the boundary months.
How does business aviation traffic vary by season at Canyonlands Regional?
Traffic at KCNY shows a pronounced seasonal pattern, with business aviation operations concentrated in spring and fall months. May recorded 190 operations and October 167, both well above the winter and midsummer months such as February at 59 and August at 76. Total annual business aviation operations for 2025 reached 1,365 out of 2,857 total operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Dispatchers scheduling trips into Moab should anticipate busier ramp conditions during these peak shoulder-season months.
What lighting is available on the runways at Canyonlands Field?
