Frequently asked questions
What is the primary runway length at KAGC?
Allegheny County Airport's main runway, 10/28, is a 6,501-foot concrete surface with a width of 150 feet. A secondary runway, 13/31, adds 3,825 feet of concrete at 100 feet wide. KAGC also has a helipad, designated H1, located on the general aviation apron east of taxiway C. Together these give KAGC enough length for most business jet operations without requiring the longer runway at nearby Pittsburgh International.
Is Jet A fuel available at KAGC?
Allegheny County Airport stocks Jet A along with Jet A+ and 100LL. Jet A anti-ice is available on request, giving operators flexibility for cold-weather departures. KAGC's fuel service operates on an all-day, all-week attendance schedule. Dispatchers planning winter operations into KAGC should factor in the on-request nature of anti-ice service when coordinating turn times.
Does KAGC have on-site customs clearance?
Allegheny County Airport does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs facility is at Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT), located approximately 16.13 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins will need to plan a stop or coordinate clearance through KPIT before or after landing at KAGC. This distance is short enough that many operators treat KPIT as a practical staging point for customs formalities tied to KAGC arrivals.
What is the seasonal traffic pattern at KAGC?
Business aviation traffic at Allegheny County Airport concentrates in the warmer months, with June recording the highest volume at 1,430 operations according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic tapers in the winter months, with February showing the lowest count at 805 operations. This pattern reflects a broader seasonal swing across the year rather than a flat distribution. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KAGC during summer should anticipate higher ramp activity compared to the January-February period.
What wildlife or ramp restrictions apply at Allegheny County Airport?
Allegheny County Airport reports birds and deer both on and in the vicinity of the airport, a factor crews should weigh during approach and departure phases. Separately, parking on the apron and main terminal ramp requires prior permission for stays exceeding 12 hours. These are distinct operational notes rather than a single restriction. Operators planning extended ground time at KAGC should coordinate ramp parking arrangements in advance given the 12-hour PPR threshold.
