KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Kalamazoo Battle Creek International Airport will close to airline traffic from June 10 until June 26 due to runway repaving. There will be no flights scheduled during this time period.
AZO Assistant Director for Finance and Administration Amanda Woodin said there are no safety concerns for those using the runway before the construction.
“It has not been done in 20 years so it is time to do it so that we can improve for the future and the next 20 years,” Woodin said.
The project will cost around $5 million with 90% of the funding coming from the Federal Aviation Administration, 5% from the Michigan Department of Transportation, and 5% from the AZO.
