Runway 17-35
to open today
Salina, Kan., (August 18, 2009) - After almost a month of closure due to
airport improvement construction at the Salina Airport Authority, the main
runway, Runway 17-35 along with the ILS system will open as scheduled
today at 1 p.m.
The runway is expected to be shut down again for further improvements
September 3 to 23.
This and other construction projects are funded in part by Airport
Improvement Program grants from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Airport Improvement Program provides grants to public agencies for the
planning and development of public use airports included in the National
Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Construction on the north ramp
area is funded by a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009, more commonly referred to as "Stimulus Money."
