Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KHVN?
Tweed New Haven Airport, KHVN, operates a single paved runway, 02/20, measuring 5,600 feet by 150 feet with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the field, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this strip regardless of aircraft category. At 5,600 feet, the runway accommodates most business jets and turboprops under normal conditions. Dispatchers should factor in the single-runway configuration when planning for wind coverage, since there is no crosswind alternative available on the airport itself.
Does KHVN have customs and CBP inspection available?
Tweed New Haven Airport has customs available onsite, with CBP inspection services and a USDA compliance agreement in place. A flight notification service, referred to locally as ADCUS, is also available for arranging arrival notice. This combination allows international arrivals to be processed directly at the field rather than being routed to another airport for clearance. Operators should still coordinate notification through the appropriate channels ahead of an international arrival, per standard flight notification procedures.
Are there noise restrictions or a curfew at KHVN?
Yes, Tweed New Haven Airport enforces a noise-based access restriction rather than a fixed curfew, closing the field to aircraft exceeding specific decibel thresholds during set windows. Aircraft over 78 dB are restricted from 0700 to 2200, over 73 dB from 2200 to 0000 and 0600 to 0700, and over 68 dB from 0000 to 0600, with exceptions for military emergency and medical aircraft. Prior permission is required for operations that fall under these restricted categories. Separately, noise abatement procedures require departures on runway 20 to hold turns until after passing the shoreline.
What are the touch-and-go rules at KHVN?
Touch-and-go operations at Tweed New Haven Airport, KHVN, are permitted only during specific hours. They are allowed from 0700 to 2200 Monday through Saturday, and from 0800 to 2200 on Sunday. Outside these windows, touch-and-go training activity is not permitted at the field. Pilots planning pattern work should schedule accordingly, particularly given the noise-based access restrictions that also apply to the airport around similar hours.
How does business aviation traffic at KHVN vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Tweed New Haven Airport shows a clear seasonal pattern based on 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Monthly bizav operations run lowest in winter, with February at 251 operations and January at 314, then build through spring and peak in the May-to-October stretch, including 530 in May and 519 in September. The airport recorded 4,883 total bizav operations against 17,973 annual operations overall for the year. This spread means operators can generally expect lighter ramp and airspace demand in the January-to-March period compared to late spring through fall.
