Frequently asked questions
What runway does KMOR offer at Moore-Murrell Airport?
Moore-Murrell Airport, KMOR, operates a single runway, 05/23, measuring 5,718 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates most business jets and turboprops operating into the field. The airport is non-towered, so pilots coordinate movement over CTAF rather than with a control tower. With only one runway, wind alignment along the 05/23 axis is the main operational constraint for arriving and departing traffic at KMOR.
Is KMOR a towered airport?
No, Moore-Murrell Airport, KMOR, is non-towered. Pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency to self-announce position and intentions during arrival, departure, and taxi. Airport lighting, including REIL and PAPI on both runway ends and MIRL on runway 05/23, is pilot-activated during the day and runs continuously from dusk to dawn. Attendance at the field runs daily from 0800 until dusk. Dispatchers should plan for standard non-towered procedures when scheduling operations at KMOR.
What fuel is available at Moore-Murrell Airport?
Moore-Murrell Airport, KMOR, carries both 100LL and Jet A fuel, supporting piston and turbine business aviation traffic. The field is attended daily from 0800 until dusk, which frames the window for fuel service coordination. With annual business aviation operations near 2,138 out of roughly 2,704 total operations recorded for 2025, KMOR sees consistent turbine traffic relative to its overall volume. Dispatchers planning fuel stops should confirm attendance hours align with their arrival time given the dusk cutoff.
Where is the nearest customs facility to KMOR?
Moore-Murrell Airport, KMOR, does not have onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at Knoxville, KTYS, located approximately 37.31 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance in this area need to route through KTYS or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at KMOR. Dispatchers arranging international arrivals in the vicinity should factor this distance into ground transportation or repositioning plans following customs processing.
Does traffic at KMOR vary by season?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Moore-Murrell Airport, KMOR, shows a clear seasonal pattern based on 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Monthly operations climb from a low of 51 in April to peaks above 260 in September and October, with September recording 278 operations, the highest of the year.
