FAA Grants $800,000 to Guam Airport for Runway Rehabilitation

Monday, February 2, 2015

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded the A.B. Won Pat International Airport Authority $816,153.00 in federal funding for the rehabilitation of Runway 6L/24R. This is reimbursement for work completed on the primary runway, measuring 10,000 linear feet, which has since been extended 1,000 linear feet on both ends extending it to a 12,000 linear foot runway, with funding from multiple FAA grants. This will bring us closer to the opening of the runway for full operations.

"Guam has been given a unique opportunity not only to extend our runway for increased capacity and loads, but also to strengthen and rehabilitate our primary runway for the safe operations of long-range, fully loaded aircraft and even newer aircraft models," said Chuck Ada, Executive Manager of the Airport Authority.

He further stated that, "This brings us one step closer to open the full runway for operations, key to our ability to meet the demands of the future and attract new business that will economically benefit the whole island. We appreciate the FAA's full support for the Airport's improvement efforts and projects." The runway is expected to be operational during the summer of 2015.
