Air Traffic Control Closure

The Federal Aviation Administration will be closing approximately 180 air traffic control towers throughout the United States. The La Crosse Airport is on the list of proposed closures with a closure date of April 7, 2013 set. Air traffic control towers serve an important function in the national transportation system and the Airport wishes to see it remain open.

However, if the closure materializes the Airport will remain safe and commercial airlines operations will continue. Passengers may notice delays throughout the entire national air space system due to these cuts and furloughs of FAA controllers. Safety is the number one concern of all airports and we will continue to serve the public in a safe manner.

Please contact us at 608-789-7464 if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your patrionage and we will continue to serve areas air transportation needs.
