The Salina Airport Authority Board of Directors has set
a goal of growing and sustaining general aviation activity at the Salina
Airport. To reach this goal a number of projects have been developed to
support GA pilots and aircraft owners. This growth leads to new jobs and a
positive economic impact for our city and county.
By the end of this October, SLN pilots will have access to 100LL Avgas self
service fuel. The availability of self service Avgas will stimulate
additional flight activity at SLN at a time when aircraft operations are
down across the nation.
A longer term goal is to construct new T-hangars at SLN. New T-hangars will
draw additional based aircraft to the airport. The area layout for the new
T- hangar development has been approved; next the Authority will begin to
design the hangars. Based and area pilots are being asked to provided their
ideas on design elements they desire. With pilot input the Authority will
proceed with the final design. Construction is planned for 2011 and
occupancy in 2012.
General aviation is a vital part of our national transportation system and
the Kansas economy. The Salina Airport Authority is committed to seeing the
greater use of GA aircraft at SLN.
