Frequently asked questions
What is the primary runway at KIPT and how long is it?
Williamsport Regional's primary runway is Runway 09/27, an asphalt surface measuring 6,825 feet long and 150 feet wide. This is the airport's maximum paved runway length, giving it capacity for most business jet types operating into KIPT. A secondary runway, 12/30, is also asphalt paved but shorter at 4,273 feet with the same 150-foot width. Both runways are usable, but crews planning for larger aircraft should reference 09/27 as the primary option at Williamsport Regional.
Is fuel available at all hours at KIPT?
Fuel and services at Williamsport Regional are available daily from 0700 to 2200 local time. Outside that window, service requires prior arrangement, referred to in airport remarks as prior coordination. Both 100LL and Jet A are carried at the field. Dispatchers planning arrivals or departures outside the published fuel hours should coordinate in advance rather than assume after-hours access at KIPT.
Does KIPT have customs clearance onsite?
Williamsport Regional (KIPT) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs airport of entry is Wilkes-Barre / Scranton International (KAVP), located approximately 54.38 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs processing for international arrivals need to route through KAVP or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at KIPT. This distance should be factored into fuel and routing plans for any international leg terminating in the Williamsport area.
What wingspan restriction applies at KIPT?
Taxiway J at Williamsport Regional is closed to aircraft with a wingspan exceeding 78 feet. Operators of larger business jets should confirm taxi routing before requesting clearance to or from that taxiway. This restriction is specific to Taxiway J and does not apply to the airport's runways. Dispatchers filing for KIPT with wide-span aircraft should verify current taxi routing with air traffic control on arrival.
When is business aviation traffic highest at Williamsport Regional?
Business aviation traffic at Williamsport Regional (KIPT) is concentrated in the warmer months, with June recording the highest monthly total at 295 operations according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic builds through spring, peaks in early summer, and tapers into fall and winter, with January and December showing the lowest monthly counts near 190 operations. This seasonal pattern is worth noting for crews scheduling maintenance windows or expecting slot availability at KIPT. The airport's annual business aviation total for 2025 stands at 2,818 operations.
