LANCASTER, Pennsylvania — Officials at Lancaster Airport (KLNS) report they’ve completed Phase III of the airport’s four-phase runway improvement project, an event marked by the reopening of Runway 8-26, Taxiway Delta east of Runway 13-31, and both taxiways, Juliet and November, east of Taxiway Foxtrot on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
The project, which began in 2021, upgrades and standardizes the runway and taxiway surfaces, and mitigates potentially hazardous storm water ponding at mid-field, airport officials explain.
“We’re grateful for the flying public’s patience while we continue to improve the runway facilities at Lancaster Airport,” said Mary Forney, manager of the airport’s FBO, LNS Alliance Aviation. “The resurfacing and drainage improvements are necessary for safer, smoother landings, and safety is always our top priority.”
In addition to the runway upgrade, Alliance Aviation’s new, 6,700-square-foot FBO offers pilot and passenger lounges, a flight planning area, and concierge customer service for car rentals, hotel, and catering arrangements. The on-site restaurant adjacent to the FBO provides a full-service dining option, with patio seating offering ramp and runway views.
Aircraft accommodations include ramp tie-down, heated hangar rentals, and full-service Jet A and 100LL fueling from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours on the east side of the terminal.
