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:
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
