Flint Bishop International Airport (FNT) is excited to begin a runway rehabilitation project to help enhance safety and airfield operations. The Runway 9-27 project will begin on Monday, May 11. The runway, that runs east to west, is one of two at Flint Bishop.

“We are thrilled to begin this rehabilitation project as it is important to the safety of passengers, aircraft, and the entire operation of an airport,” stated Airport Director, Nino Sapone. “We have worked closely with our engineering team from RS&H to ensure the project is comprehensive, efficient and cost-effective,” said Sapone.

The project will happen in four phases and is scheduled to last through the summer. Passengers will not be impacted as runway 18-36, running north to south, will remain open for aircraft use. At no time will both runways be closed due to the construction. FNT’s stakeholders have already been notified of the changes.
