West Runway Extension-South End

The Regional Airport Authority is in the process of extending its west runway. Phase I of the extension project-the relocation of Martha Maloney Drive- was complete in October 2004. Phase II, construction of the 850-foot extension on the north end of the west runway is complete. Phase III-the 1040-foot extension of the south end of the west runway-construction began in February and completion is expected in November 2006.

When complete, the $20 million West Runway Extension project will permit airlines to fly nonstop with larger loads to destinations as far as the Pacific Rim and Asia, conserving time and fuel. The extension will provide Louisville's air carriers with the same competitive advantage that other similar airports, such as Memphis, offer in competing for international business.
