Pilots conducting enhanced flight vision system operations should be aware that an LED approach lighting system is in use on Runway 16.
The Runway 34 PAPI is unusable beyond 3 degrees left and 5 degrees right of the runway centerline.
Birds, deer, and coyotes are present on and in the vicinity of the airport.

Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KONP?
Newport Municipal (KONP) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 16/34 is the longer of the two at 5,398 feet by 100 feet wide, and serves as the primary runway with high-intensity runway lighting and PAPI on both ends. Runway 02/20 measures 3,001 feet by 75 feet and carries medium-intensity runway lighting. Runway 34 also has REIL, and Runway 16 has MALSR approach lighting activated via CTAF.
Is fuel available at Newport Municipal after hours?
Newport Municipal (KONP) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with the field attended daily from 0800 to 1700 local time. Outside those posted hours, pilots should plan for after-hours fuel procedures rather than assuming line service availability. There is no control tower on the field, so fuel arrangements and other ground coordination run through the same attended-hours framework. Operators planning early departures or late arrivals should account for this when scheduling turnarounds.
Are there wildlife hazards to be aware of at KONP?
Yes, Newport Municipal (KONP) reports birds, deer, and coyotes on and in the vicinity of the airport. This is a standing general remark in the airport's operational data, not tied to a specific season or runway. Pilots operating at low altitude during approach and departure, particularly at dawn or dusk, should maintain heightened visual scanning. The remark applies airport-wide rather than to a single runway or approach path.
What are the PAPI limitations on Runway 34 at KONP?
At Newport Municipal (KONP), the Runway 34 PAPI is unusable beyond 3 degrees left and 5 degrees right of the runway centerline. Pilots flying visual approaches to Runway 34 need to stay within that lateral guidance window to receive valid glidepath indications from the system. Runway 34 also has REIL installed for approach identification. This limitation is specific to the PAPI on this runway end and does not apply to the Runway 16 PAPI mentioned elsewhere in the field's lighting remarks.
How is Newport Municipal's business aviation traffic distributed over the year?
Newport Municipal (KONP) recorded 1,287 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with traffic concentrated in the warmer months. Monthly operations rose from 100 in January to a peak of 164 in August, then declined to a low of 35 in December. July and September also posted strong months, at 151 and 139 operations respectively. Operators planning trips to the Oregon coast should expect the airport's busiest period to fall between June and September.
