Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KGEG?
Spokane International Airport operates two paved runways. Runway 03/21 is the primary runway at 11,002 feet long and 150 feet wide, surfaced in asphalt-concrete. Runway 08/26 measures 8,199 feet long and 150 feet wide, surfaced in asphalt. Both runways support a wide range of aircraft types given their length and width. The airport is towered, with all operations coordinated through air traffic control.
Is customs available at KGEG for international arrivals?
Yes, CBP inspection services are available onsite at Spokane International Airport, along with a USDA compliance agreement. This allows international arrivals to clear customs directly at the field rather than diverting to another airport. Operators should confirm current CBP procedures and any advance notice requirements directly with the inspection station before planning an international arrival. The onsite arrangement covers both customs and agricultural compliance needs.
What fuel types are available at KGEG?
Spokane International Airport offers 100 octane avgas, 100LL, and Jet A fuel. The field maintains an ALL / ALL / ALL attendance schedule, meaning fuel and field services are available year-round without seasonal restriction. This makes KGEG a reliable fuel stop for both piston and turbine operators. Operators should still verify current fuel availability directly with field services ahead of arrival, as this is standard practice regardless of published attendance hours.
What is the PCN pavement rating for the runways at KGEG?
Spokane International Airport publishes PCR values of 660/R / A/W / T for one runway and 730/R / A/W / T for the other. These pavement classification ratings help operators of heavier aircraft assess compatibility with the runway pavement before planning operations. Dispatchers should cross-reference these figures against specific aircraft ACN data during flight planning. The airport's maximum paved runway length is 11,002 feet, supporting operations by a broad range of aircraft weights.
Are there any wildlife or obstruction hazards to know about at KGEG?
Yes, Spokane International Airport has published remarks covering both hazards. Waterfowl and birds are present on and in the vicinity of the airport, warranting standard bird-strike awareness during arrival and departure. Separately, pilots are advised to expect turbulence over smoke stacks located one mile east of the field. Crews should factor both items into approach and departure planning at KGEG, particularly during visual segments near the affected areas.
