Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KFWQ?
Rostraver Airport (KFWQ) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs service is at Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT), located about 25 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs processing should plan to route through KPIT or another customs-equipped airport in the region. Coordination for customs decal or clearance should be arranged in advance of arrival.
What fuel is available at Rostraver Airport?
Rostraver Airport (KFWQ) offers 100LL, Jet A, and Jet A+ fuel. This mix supports both piston general aviation traffic and turbine business aircraft operating in and out of the field. Fuel service aligns with the airport's stated attendance schedule, Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1700 local. Aircraft arriving outside those hours should confirm fuel availability beforehand.
What is the runway configuration at KFWQ?
KFWQ has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, measuring 4,002 feet long and 75 feet wide. This is the only paved surface at Rostraver Airport, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this runway regardless of wind direction. The runway length places a practical limit on the size and weight of business aircraft that can operate here comfortably. Pilots should also note wildlife activity reported on and around the field.
How busy is Rostraver Airport with business aviation traffic?
Rostraver Airport (KFWQ) logged 252 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 408 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Monthly bizav activity ranges from a low of 15 operations in August to a high of 28 in May, showing a moderate seasonal pattern weighted toward spring. This places KFWQ in the modest end of business traffic volume compared to larger regional fields. Dispatchers should expect a quieter, uncontrolled-field operating environment.
