Airport updates: short lease extension, assignment of lease and taxiway realignment work underway
Summary
Airport staff notified commissioners of a short lease extension on a facility while RFPs conclude, an assignment of a hangar/park lease to Big Horn Airways, construction start on the taxiway Alpha realignment project, and a temporary increase in Thanksgiving flights to be publicized.
Sheridan County airport staff told commissioners construction has begun on the taxiway Alpha realignment project and that they have issued an RFP for airport buildings; a short lease extension will be requested to bridge the RFP process. The staff member said Big Horn Airways intends to purchase one business park building and that an assignment of lease is planned to transfer the existing lease as‑is to the purchaser.
Staff described a temporary staging area in the back of the business park to support construction logistics and noted the contractor’s access plans are intended to avoid interference with active airfield operations. Airport staff also said airlines (SkyWest/United) expect increased bookings around Thanksgiving with up to three round‑trip flights for several days, and staff plan to notify the public about temporary schedule changes.
No formal action beyond informational notice was recorded; staff said the lease extension and assignment items will appear on the next board agenda.
