Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length available at KJYR?
York Municipal Airport's primary runway, 17/35, is a paved concrete surface measuring 5,900 feet long and 100 feet wide. This is the longest paved surface at the field, matching the airport's listed maximum paved runway length. A second runway, 05/23, is a 4,481-foot turf strip 150 feet wide, unpaved and used for lighter traffic. Dispatchers planning business jet operations should reference runway 17/35 as the primary option at KJYR given its concrete surface and length.
Is customs clearance available at York Municipal Airport?
York Municipal Airport (KJYR) does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is located at Omaha, Nebraska (KOMA), approximately 82 nautical miles away. Flight crews requiring customs clearance in the vicinity of KJYR must plan a stop at KOMA or coordinate arrangements in advance. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for any international arrivals near York.
What fuel types are available at KJYR?
York Municipal Airport stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, covering piston and turbine aircraft. The airport's attendance schedule runs daily from 0700 to 1700 local time, which governs when fueling services are staffed. KJYR is a public-use, non-towered field, so pilots should coordinate fuel needs within these attended hours. No fuel availability outside the posted schedule is indicated in airport data.
Are there any approach obstructions to be aware of at KJYR?
Yes, York Municipal Airport has two notable obstruction remarks affecting its runways. The runway 35 approach has a 50:1 slope restriction due to a 12-foot-high road located 1,020 feet from the displaced threshold. Separately, runway 05's approach can be affected by a center pivot irrigation system that rotates into the approach path during irrigation season. Pilots operating into KJYR, particularly on these runways, should factor both obstructions into approach planning.
