Is Jet A fuel available at Redmond Municipal Airport?

The field operates under an attendance schedule covering all days of the week from 0400 to 2000 local time. Redmond sits at an elevation of 3,082 feet, a factor dispatchers should weigh into performance planning at this altitude. The airport is towered, which adds another layer of coordination for arrivals and departures outside the fuel window.
Where does KRDM stand for customs clearance?
KRDM does not have customs available onsite. The nearest customs facility is at Portland International, KPDX, located approximately 101 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KPDX or another customs-equipped airport before continuing to Redmond, Oregon. This distance should factor into fuel and routing decisions for any flight requiring a customs clearance ahead of landing at Roberts Field.
Does Redmond Municipal Airport see seasonal traffic swings?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Redmond Municipal Airport concentrates in the summer months. Monthly bizav operations climb from the low 400s in winter to a peak of 599 in July, based on FAA TFMSC 2025 traffic data. August and September also run well above the winter baseline, with 548 and 563 operations respectively. Dispatchers planning trips into KRDM during peak summer months should anticipate a busier traffic pattern than the shoulder or winter seasons show.
What cold weather procedures apply at KRDM?
Roberts Field / Redmond Municipal Airport is designated a cold temperature airport, requiring altitude correction at or below -16C. This designation affects approach planning during the region's cold winter months, when average highs run in the low 40s Fahrenheit in December and January. Crews flying into KRDM under these conditions need to apply the appropriate cold temperature altitude corrections per procedure. This requirement is separate from standard performance planning tied to the airport's 3,082-foot field elevation.
