Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KOMA?
Yes, Eppley Airfield offers on-site CBP inspection services along with a USDA compliance agreement. This allows arriving international flights to clear customs directly at the airport rather than diverting to a nearby facility. The USDA agreement is relevant for operators carrying agricultural cargo or livestock. Dispatchers should coordinate arrival details with CBP in advance, as is standard for any international clearance. KOMA's on-site setup removes the need to route through a separate port of entry.
What is the longest runway at KOMA?
Eppley Airfield's longest runway is 14R/32L, a 9,502-foot concrete surface with a width of 150 feet. This is the airport's primary runway for larger business jets and airline traffic. Two other paved runways are available: 14L/32R at 8,500 feet and 18/36 at 8,154 feet, both also 150 feet wide and concrete. All three runways at KOMA are paved, giving operators flexibility for wind coverage and traffic flow. The airfield's maximum paved length matches the 14R/32L figure at 9,502 feet.
Are there wingspan restrictions on taxiways at KOMA?
Yes, Eppley Airfield (KOMA) has several wingspan-based closures affecting ground movement. The holding bay at runway 32R and at runway 18 is closed to aircraft with a wingspan of 79 feet or more. The holding bay at runway 32L allows aircraft up to 118 feet of wingspan. Taxiways F1, F2, and F3 are closed to aircraft exceeding 118 feet of wingspan, and the terminal ramp taxi lane between taxiway F1 and taxiway A1 carries the same 118-foot limit. Operators of larger aircraft need to plan taxi routing around these restrictions.
