Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KCEY?
Kyle-Oakley Field does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at KHOP, located approximately 42 nautical miles away. Flight crews arriving from international points need to plan their clearance through that facility or another designated port of entry. Dispatchers should factor this distance into routing and timing for any international arrivals into Murray, Kentucky.
What runway does KCEY offer for arrivals and departures?
KCEY has a single paved runway, designated 05/23, measuring 6,202 feet long and 100 feet wide. The surface is asphalt, and this runway matches the airport's published maximum paved length. This single-runway layout means all traffic operates on one strip regardless of wind direction, so crosswind conditions merit attention during planning. Pilots should confirm current runway lighting status, since activation is pilot-controlled through CTAF.
Is Kyle-Oakley Field a towered airport?
Kyle-Oakley Field, identified as KCEY, is a non-towered airport. Pilots coordinate arrivals, departures, and traffic sequencing using the common traffic advisory frequency rather than air traffic control instructions. Airport attendance runs Monday through Saturday from 0800 to 1700 and Sunday from 1300 to 1700 local time. Outside those hours, self-announce procedures and pilot judgment govern airport operations.
What fuel is available at KCEY?
KCEY stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, along with an A+ fuel grade. This combination supports a mix of piston and turbine business aircraft operating through Murray, Kentucky. Fuel availability aligns with the airport's published attendance schedule, so crews arriving outside staffed hours should plan accordingly. No fuel quantity or brand information is specified beyond the types carried.
How does business aviation traffic vary through the year at KCEY?
Business aviation activity at Kyle-Oakley Field shows clear month-to-month variation, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. October recorded the highest monthly count at 90 operations, while January and February were the lowest at 28 operations each. This represents a wide swing between the slowest and busiest months of the year. Dispatchers planning trips into KCEY during October should expect comparatively higher traffic volumes than in the winter months.
