In Progress
Airfield Safety Enhancements & Improvements Program
Project Overview
Additional development to the airfield and surrounding infrastructure is a necessary element of Elevate/SAT to improve overall safety, accommodate current and future operations, and improve operational flexibility.
Enhancements will focus on:
- Improvements to Runway 13R-31L to comply with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety and design regulations
- Extending the functional life of Runway 13R-31L by replacing concrete pavement sections, upgrading electrical lighting systems to modern and efficient LED technology, and re-establishing pavement markings
- Additional improvements to the Storm Line ‘S’, SkyPlace Drainage, and Remote Transmitter/Receiver F to support airfield operations
With funding support from the FAA, these enhancements are necessary to maintain a safe and operational airfield that is aligned with the expansion of SAT, the promotion of economic growth and tourism, and a continuous positive customer experience.
