Oklahoma state aviation and airport officials held a groundbreaking ceremony launching several much-anticipated improvements at South Grand Lake Regional Airport (1K8). On the slate for upgrades at the general and business aviation facility are a new terminal to&nbsp;accommodate&nbsp;the growing number of&nbsp;passengers, pilots, and other airport visitors, an additional hangar, and a parallel taxiway serving the north/south runway.&nbsp;
The first phase of&nbsp;the&nbsp;improvement plan includes constructing a 3,800-sq-ft terminal with updated facilities and comfortable amenities.&nbsp;The&nbsp;new&nbsp;12,000-sq-ft hangar is part of an&nbsp;effort to increase revenue-generating aircraft storage facilities.
The projects,&nbsp;part of a multi-phase effort over the next five years to upgrade the airport,&nbsp;are funded by the&nbsp;Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics, the FAA, and the airport sponsor.&nbsp;The total cost for all three projects is approximately $12.3 million.&nbsp;
Over the last two decades, 1K8's footprint has more than doubled to 125 acres. It includes a 4,700-foot runway with instrument approaches, automated weather reporting, an approach lighting system, self-fueling, and 18 hangars. Future phases in the airport master plan include relocating the county road to allow more usable runway surface and installing a new runway lighting system.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
