What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Malone Dufort Airport (KMAL) is primarily a general aviation facility, and traveler experiences predominantly reflect its role as such, rather than a commercial passenger hub. Overall sentiment is generally positive among pilots and general aviation users, appreciating its functional infrastructure and recent enhancements, though the absence of full-time staffing and certain services are noted limitations.

What Travelers Love

Well-maintained Runways: Both asphalt runways, 05/23 and 14/32, are noted to be in "very good condition" or "excellent condition".
24/7 Self-Serve Fuel: 100LL fuel is readily available round-the-clock via self-service, which is a significant convenience for general aviation pilots.
Recent Infrastructure Upgrades: The airport has seen enhancements, including expanded apron and tie-down areas with 7 tie-downs, and the addition of Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs), Runway End Identifier Lights (REILs), and illuminated wind cones for both runways, all of which are pilot-activated.
Accessible Weather Information: An Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) is available on the field, accessible by phone or internet, supplemented by a second weather station from NYS Mesonet, providing crucial real-time weather data.
No Commercial Security Lines: As a general aviation airport, there are no typical TSA security checkpoints, meaning no associated wait times for commercial passengers.

Common Complaints

Limited Staffing/Unattended Status: The airport is often "not Attended" or "Irregular" in its attendance, which can limit on-site assistance and services.
Absence of Aircraft Maintenance Services: There are no airframe or powerplant repair services available, nor is bottled or bulk oxygen, requiring pilots to seek these services elsewhere.
Operational Considerations: Pilots must be aware of "Haying Activity & Equipment Present Jun - Sep" on or near the field. Snow removal on runway 14/32 is performed, but a visual inspection and NOTAM check are recommended as town roads are prioritized.
Obstructions Near Runways: There are noted obstructions such as crops, roads with tall farm equipment, buildings, and trees near the runways.
Customs Requires Advance Arrangement: International travelers need to "call ahead for customs" as it is not a walk-up service.
Lack of Commercial Passenger Amenities: As a general aviation airport, it lacks typical commercial terminal facilities, food services, or direct public transportation connections.

Malone Dufort Airport serves as a well-equipped, albeit minimally staffed, general aviation airport that has recently invested in significant navigational and parking upgrades. It is highly suitable for private pilots needing fuel and a well-maintained landing strip, but travelers should anticipate arranging their own ground transportation and be aware of the airport's general aviation operational environment.
