Runway Rehabilitation

As of Friday, September 15, our Runway lighting project has been completed!

This means that the NOTAM has been canceled, and the runway will remain open 24 hours a day.

Our runway rehabilitation began January 16th, 2023. This is an exciting project that will greatly improve our runway and taxiways. Associated with these improvements will be the inconvenience of periodic taxiway and runway closures. We will do our best to minimize the impact this will have. The first phase will focus on our taxiways which will require some back taxi, but the runway will continue to be accessible.

Appropriate NOTAMS will be posted as the project progresses.

Please contact Ron Maness (Office 910-692-3212 x 1002 or Mobile 910-638-3017) with any questions you may have. Thank you for your patience and corporation during these improvements.

March 7th Update

On Tuesday March 7th, Bravo 1 taxiway will be closed for 3 or 4 hours, starting at 8:00am. Tentatively, on Wednesday March 8th, Bravo 2 taxiway will be closed for 48 hours, starting at 8:00am. At no time, will Bravo 1 & 2 be closed at the same time. Moving forward, the week of March 20th, will start the final phase of the runway taxiway rehab. Unfortunately, this will have runway closures with a “PPR” (Prior Permission Request) attached to the Notam. The idea of the PPR is coming and going, with 2 plus hours in between. Ideally, we need to try to give the contractor as much time on the runway, to finish up as quickly as possible.

January 30th Update

In looking at the weather forecast for this coming week, we decided that due to the prediction of rain, construction would be delayed until the weather improved. As such, the runway will remain open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (1/30, 31 and Feb. 1) this coming week.

Currently the runway is scheduled to close this Thursday at 7:00 am.We will keep you updated on progress, your patience is appreciated.
