The perfect place for a perfect landing

Merry Christmas to All

December 20, 2011

It’s right around this time every season that we finish up the holiday cards wishing Joy, Peace and Goodwill to all. This year, we thought we’d try something a little different to remind readers that we appreciate everyone who had a hand in making Addison Airport a success again this year.

We hope you like it.

Happy Holidays … and thank goodness it doesn’t look like we’ll have a white Christmas this year, from The Entire Addison Airport Staff

FAA’s Pat on the Back

November 14, 2011

FAA named Addison Airport the winner of the agency’s Excellence in Construction Safety award for its recent renovation of runway 15/33. The project team was honored at last Thursday’s FAA Southwest Regions’ 2011 Fall Conference luncheon for exceeding the agency’s already stringent construction safety standards. Work included upgrading and improving approach and airport lighting, drainage and grading.

It’s always nice to know though, that unlike some other towns, Addison’s leaders understand the airport’s value, as well as the day-to-day issues faced at the facility.

Mayor Todd Meier said, “Addison is constantly vigilant when it comes to safety—safety for our pilots, for our tenants, and for the general public. The Town is committed to investing in the airport for the benefit of our tenants, the traveling public and especially our owners, the citizens of Addison. This award recognizes the hard work of the airport and town staff, as well as the contractors, all of whom went above and beyond to complete this important project safely, on-time and under budget.” (more…)
