OSU Airport: Air traffic to shift while runway repairedThe OSU Airport will begin a complete rehabilitation of its south runway on Monday (6/15). The runway will be closed for approximately 55 days. The construction will significantly alter the traffic flow, moving most traffic to the north runway and occasionally to the crosswind runways. As a result, some residents might notice an increase or decrease in air traffic near their homes. The direction of traffic will depend on a variety of safety factors, including the specific location of construction activity, wind direction, and aircraft taxiing to and from the north runway. The Air Traffic Control tower will continue to provide full service during the project period. Pilots are encouraged to visit http://www.osuairport.org, and use Flight Services when planning their flights.
