SLO Airport Expansion

Wednesday, March 29, 2006

The San Luis Obispo County Airport is lengthening its runway for regional jets. The proposed expansion would allow travelers more flight destination options. It's a necessary move by the airport which says if they don't change with the times, they will go out of business.

The runway will be expanded from 5100 ft to 6100 ft, but first a environmental impact report needs to be completed. The report will consider the airport expansions affect on traffic, pollution and noise.

The airport expansion is expected to increase traffic, but the problem with noise and air pollution could be getting better. The San Luis Obispo County Airport Manager says the regional jets have different noise and pitch levels. Air pollution may also get better due to emissions levels that are lower on the jets.
