Duluth Intl is in Duluth, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,427.8 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is 10,591 ft. Runway 09/27 is concrete. Runway 03/21 is asphalt. The tower is open 24 hours.
Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 09 and 27. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. Vantage Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note fuel availability at Monaco Air Duluth. It lists 100LL, Avgas, Jet A plus and Jet A-8. If you need current service details, call the FBO directly.
This is a busy controlled field with military activity. The remarks say prior permission is required for all aircraft. Transient aircraft must contact command post before landing, before engine start and before taxi. Bird activity is also noted. The higher bird hazard period runs from September 1 through October 31. The field sits in the Duluth area, so expect lake and terrain effects to matter on a local weather day. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating restrictions before departure.
