Glen Innes Airport will be temporarily closed from 4 November 2024 until 31 January 2025 to allow for essential upgrades and improvements.
The planned works include:
- Rehabilitation of the main bitumen runway
- New and upgraded runway lighting
- Improved drainage and reshaping of the main runway to enhance water run-off management
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we carry out these important improvements to ensure a safer and more efficient airport for the future.
The project is being funded by the NSW Government’s Severe Weather and Floods Grant, the Infrastructure Betterment Fund, and the Australian Government’s Regional Airports Program.
Council is working closely with NSW Health, NSW Ambulance, and NSW Police to ensure that aeromedical services and emergency operations continue without interruption. If works are completed ahead of schedule, the airport will reopen earlier.
