Gulfport-Biloxi Intl is in Gulfport, Mississippi. The field elevation is 28 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 9,002 ft. Runway 18/36 is 4,935 ft.
The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0600-2300. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 14 and 32. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for light single-engine aircraft. It is 1,200 ft AGL for conventional aircraft. It is 1,500 ft AGL for jets.
Million Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (228) 701-0400 for current service details. The published remarks also note frequent low-flying fish spotter traffic along the shoreline between Pascagoula and Gulfport from sunrise to sunset. That matters for arrival planning near the coast.
There are also several operational limits to keep in mind. Large aircraft use restrictions apply on parts of taxiway A. Taxiway F20 is closed to aircraft with wingspans over 49 ft between the FBO and taxiway G. Civil aircraft with wingspans of 132 ft or more need escort north of taxiway C on taxiway A. Military and special-use parking rules also apply. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or FBO directly before arrival if your aircraft is large or mission-specific.
