City Moves Toward Longer Runway at Sidney Airport
An engineering study to extend Sidney Municipal Airport runway by 2 000 feet to 6 400 feet is planned with up to 13 000 dollars in federal funds. The State Aeronautics Commission may fund part of the cost, with the city covering about a quarter if the project reaches 200 000 dollars. Frontier Air Lines cites Convair plane plans, and land acquisition will guide whether the southeast or northwest extension is chosen. Sidney anticipates service routes via Denver Rapid City and other connections, with possible Columbus linkage awaiting approvals.
