Located on the southern fringe of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex,
the Lancaster Airport serves as a reliever airport to the Dallas Love Field
and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's. The Lancaster Airport Master
Plan was undertaken to address the dynamic growth of aviation, especially
corporate aviation, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The plan indicated that
aviation growth at the airport will continue to increase the demand for
additional aviation facilities. In order to accommodate for the projected
demand, the proposed development plan included the extension of the primary
runway to 6,000 feet, construction of additional aircraft parking apron,
and construction of additional aircraft storage hangars. The resultant
plan will aid the airport in providing adequate facilities aimed at accommodating
an increase in corporate aircraft activity.
