Frequently asked questions
What runway length is available at KPUB / Pueblo Memorial?
Pueblo Memorial (KPUB) offers three paved runways for arriving traffic. Runway 08R/26L is the longest at 10,498 feet, with a width of 150 feet, matching the airport's published max paved length. Runway 17/35 provides 8,310 feet at the same 150-foot width. A shorter crosswind option, 08L/26R, runs 4,690 feet with a narrower 75-foot width and carries a weight restriction. All three surfaces are asphalt.
Is there a weight limit on any runway at Pueblo Memorial Airport?
Yes, one runway at Pueblo Memorial Airport carries a published weight restriction. Runway 08L/26R, the shortest of the field's three paved runways at 4,690 feet, is available only to aircraft under 20,000 pounds. This limit applies during both daylight and night hours. The two longer runways, 08R/26L at 10,498 feet and 17/35 at 8,310 feet, do not carry this restriction. Dispatchers planning heavier aircraft should route those operations to one of the longer runways.
Does KPUB have customs available on the field?
Pueblo Memorial (KPUB) does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at Colorado Springs (KCOS), located approximately 32.4 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport or another designated port of entry beforehand. This is a planning consideration for any international arrival intending to use KPUB as the point of landing.
What is the fuel situation at Pueblo Memorial after hours?
Pueblo Memorial Airport (KPUB) stocks both 100LL and Jet A, with the field attended daily from 0600 to 2200 local time. Outside of that attended window, pilots and dispatchers should plan to use 100LL self-service, according to the airport's own fuel remark. Jet A after-hours availability is not addressed by that same note, so crews needing Jet A outside attended hours should confirm arrangements ahead of arrival. Rapid refueling is separately noted as available during FBO hours from 0700 to 2200 local for both fixed-wing and rotor-wing aircraft, with prior coordination required.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at Pueblo Memorial Airport?
Business aviation traffic at Pueblo Memorial Airport (KPUB) is concentrated later in the year, with October recording the highest monthly total at 467 operations according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. February shows the lowest count at 378 operations. Total annual business aviation operations reach 4,878 out of 8,153 overall operations at the field. The spread across months is moderate rather than extreme, but the October peak stands out clearly against the rest of the year.
