Airport Deputy Director Nathan Banton says wet weather in April and May coupled with a cement shortage has set back the runway project at the airport. Our goal is to be back by Labor Day weekend, said Banton. If it were just an issue of the wet spring, we wouldn t be far off schedule. What nobody could have predicted is a national supply issue with the low-alkaline cement needed to finish the runway project safely.
Banton says United Express customers with reservations in July and August will be contacted regarding re-ticketing and rescheduling through their original booking agencies.
He says the airport is also working closely with the Wyoming Air National Guard to mitigate and minimize impacts to C-130 operations.
