Flagstaff airport schedules night closures for runway maintenance; warranty work planned for pavement markings
Summary
Staff outlined an airfield maintenance project (mid-June) to remove rubber, repair thermal cracks and replace ramp lighting; runway and taxiway work will use night closures and staff said commercial flights should not be affected.
Airport staff told the commission the airfield maintenance phase 6 project will begin in mid-June and address runway rubber removal, thermal crack repairs in blast pads and ramp lighting replacements, with much of the runway marking work planned during night closures to avoid impacts to commercial service.
Adam Yelli and Brian described work items stemming from the Part 139 inspection: rubber removal on runway surfaces that will require obliterating and reapplying markings, rework of thermal cracks on blast pads for runways 21 and 30, replacement of nonfunctional ramp lights on the general-aviation apron and new perimeter signage to reflect runway safety area (RSA) procedures. Staff said the project is expected to take roughly one month with primary runway work scheduled for night closures; they do not anticipate commercial flight impacts.
Staff also noted warranty work from a prior pavement project: paint blisters were identified in 2024 for some taxiway markings and the pavement contractor will return under warranty to repaint those areas; staff are coordinating timing and will issue NOTAMs for the closures. The commission had no objections and asked only clarifying questions about after-hours activity and typical night-time users; staff said night operations are usually low and medical helicopter or medevac operations can continue on available surfaces.
