FAA to provide grant to replace Port Columbus Runway
Published: 21-Dec-2009
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that it will provide over $90 million toward the cost of replacing the south runway at Port Columbus International Airport.
The replacement of the south runway will enable greater airport capacity by allowing for an increased number of aircraft operations and creating space for a future second terminal.
The pre-design estimate for the south runway replacement project is $160 million, which includes the construction of the runway 702 feet south of its current location and several related projects. Those projects include modifications to the Airport Golf Course, demolition of airport structures, purchasing and installing aircraft navigation aids and converting the existing runway to a taxiway.
The current south runway is a patchwork of asphalt and concrete, including original 1928 pavement in some areas. The runway has been extended and repaved over the years and will be converted to a taxiway. The new runway, which will be far enough from the north runway to allow simultaneous arrivals and departures, is expected to open April 2013.
Port Columbus is served by 10 air carriers which include Air Canada Jazz, AirTran, American, Continental, Delta, Midwest Connect, Northwest, Southwest, United, US Airways and the regional affiliates associated with many of these major airlines.
