Expansion Plans
In 2009, the FAA recommended and approved an expansion of the Pangborn runway to 7,000 feet. In addition to increasing the capacity of the runway to serve additional commercial flights using Canadair regional jets, the proposed lengthening would also increase the capacity of summer flights to operate during conditions of high density altitude, as well as winter flights to have the required stopping distance under slick conditions.

Famous quotes containing the words expansion and/or plans:
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
