Amarillo to Seek Federal Aid for City Airport Upgrades
Amarillo authorities plan to apply for federal funds to improve the municipal airport. The effort, led by the city and the chamber of commerce, targets new paved runways and other upgrades costing nearly 1 million dollars to accommodate enlarged aircraft. A land swap with English Field owners was deemed impossible, but pursuit of the exchange remains under consideration due to English Field's advantages. If land remains unavailable, the city will seek funds to upgrade the current field to meet airline requirements.
