Aircraft Detailing at Key West International Airport

Runway 9/27 is 5,076 by 100 feet with an engineered materials arresting system at each end, and the FAA record dated 29 October 2026 has Key West tower on from 0700 to 2100. The same record marks the field as noise sensitive, lists no operations from 2300 to 0700 among its noise remarks, and asks aircraft with a wingspan over 118 feet to get prior permission from the airport manager. The county posts an over-sized aircraft waiver request on its general aviation page.

Signature Key West lists overnight hangar space, ramp parking, conference rooms and on-site customs; its call-out service after 2100 needs four hours' notice and carries a fee. FAA data gives Customs and Border Protection hours of 0800 to 2000 Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. The NATA and AvAdvisors 2025 table counts 7,540 business-jet movements at EYW, up 7 percent on 2024, and 2,667 piston movements, up 20 percent.

The Weather Service office in Key West describes a tropical-maritime climate shaped by the nearby Gulf Stream, notes that Key West has no record of frost, ice, sleet or snow, and says June through October brings about 65 percent of the year's rain in showers and thunderstorms.
