Runway 9R/27L Extension Plan
A request for $1-million was added to the 2007 Miami-Dade Federal Legislative Package to extend the currently existing runway 9R/27L. The runway will be extended 550 feet to the east and 1,798 feet to the west. The reasoning behind the request is to "...allow aircraft to increase their fuel and/or cargo load and ... allow for the accommodation of nearly 100 percent of midsize jet aircraft under wet runway conditions."
