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."

Famous quotes containing the words extension and/or plan:
“Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
“I have always hated biography, and more especially, autobiography. If biography, the writer invariably finds it necessary to plaster the subject with praises, flattery and adulation and to invest him with all the Christian graces. If autobiography, the same plan is followed, but the writer apologizes for it.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
