The exercises will consist of numerous military aircraft and personnel from the US Air Force and other allied forces operating over Guam and throughout the region from February 5-23, 2024.

“GIAA’s runways and taxiways are a vital piece of infrastructure supporting not only commercial aviation, but a critical alternate or divert location for Andersen Airfield” stated John M.

The community may anticipate increased military air activity and associated noise on or around the Guam International Airport facilities over the next two weeks.
