Augusta State Airport

Augusta State Airport (KAUG) is a medium airport in Augusta, ME. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KAUG or IATA code AUG. It sits in North America.

Augusta State Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 5,002 ft (1,525 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Augusta State Airport sits near sea level at 352 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 38 departing and 97 arriving private-jet legs at KAUG across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 aircraft from 5 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

Regional fields like KAUG are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
