Scheduled Part 121 or Part 380 flights carrying passengers with more than 9 seats are not permitted to use this runway. Non-scheduled passenger-carrying operations are restricted from this runway if the aircraft has more than 30 passenger seats. These operators should plan on runway 10/28, which measures 9,020 feet, for compliant operations. This restriction does not apply to runway 10/28 itself.
Is fuel confirmed at Montgomery Regional (KMGM)?
