Whether you call it apron, ramp or tarmac, the valuable and expansive surface is something that commercial airports just can’t operate without. Simply put, where the rubber meets the road for airports is the amount of pavement so vast it is measured in square miles.

Huntsville International Airport invests regularly in upkeep of pavement to ensure flight safety and sustainability of the HSV’s financial future. After all, and airport in disrepair cannot expect to be voted among the top airports in the U.S. as is Huntsville, three years running.

Here’s a rundown of the pavement projects initiated or completed in FY23:

• Air Cargo Apron Rehab Project (completed) – $2.7 million
• Air Cargo Access Road Extension and Overlay (in progress) – $2.7 million
• New Employee Parking Lot (in progress) – $3.2 million
• New Cell Phone Waiting Lot (in progress)- $700,000
