The closure will not affect travelers. Residents living near the airport may notice a slight adjustment in flight patterns as commercial aircraft is routed to the airport’s runway adjacent to Terminal C.

During the closures, visitors to the airport’s Observation Park will benefit from increased airplane activity.
