Great collaboration to help get the fires out. Well done!

On Wednesday, North Platte Regional Airport staff supported the crop dusters called in to assist with the fires south of North Platte along Highway 83. Our airport grass truck was also on scene to help with the firefighting efforts.

We appreciate everyone who worked together to help contain the fire and protect our community. Thank you to all the firefighters, pilots, and mutual aid crews for your dedication.

Parking lot expansion…last month the board voted to add an additional 30 paved parking spots to the north parking lot. Once terminal construction is complete we will be doing some things to free up more parking in the future. We are seeing record boardings! Great things happening at our airport!
