Runways & Approaches

Lawrence Municipal Airport operates two asphalt runways. The primary runway, 5/23, measures 5,001 feet by 100 feet, is grooved for improved wet-weather braking, and is served by an ILS approach to Runway 5 plus RNAV (GPS) procedures. The crosswind runway, 14/32, measures 3,654 feet by 100 feet and provides alignment flexibility when winds disfavor the main runway.

With just over 5,000 feet of primary runway near sea level (148 feet MSL), KLWM comfortably handles light and midsize jets such as the Phenom 300, Citation XLS+, and Learjet 75, and many super-midsize aircraft like the Challenger 350 and Gulfstream G280 with appropriate weight and weather planning. ILS and RNAV (GPS) approaches support reliable instrument access in the variable New England weather; heavy jets should run full performance numbers against the 5,001-foot length before committing.

The airport's primary runway, 5/23, extends 5,001 feet and is grooved asphalt served by an ILS, while crosswind runway 14/32 adds 3,654 feet. This infrastructure supports light, midsize, and many super-midsize jets. Operators of larger heavy jets should verify takeoff and landing performance against the 5,001-foot length, runway condition, and temperature before scheduling.

Lawrence Jet Center offers a private 50,000 sq ft secure ramp, heated hangar, renovated crew lounge, and crew car, while Eagle East Aviation provides a full-service terminal, hangars, catering, and ground transportation.

Charter Considerations

KLWM is well positioned for charter into the Merrimack Valley, the North Shore, southern New Hampshire, and the greater Boston area without the delays and congestion of Logan.

The ILS to Runway 5 and RNAV (GPS) approaches support dependable instrument access through New England's variable weather. The 148-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects minimal year-round.
