The eventual development of a longer runway would allow WVU’s athletic teams and fans to travel to destinations directly from Morgantown rather than traveling to Bridgeport or Pittsburgh, Hall said. The improvements would also allow WVU’s opponents to fly directly to Morgantown.
The proposed improvements are expected to spurn
development in the 55-acre industrial park adjacent to the airport.
"This has been a long time coming," Hall said."
My Father-in-law was the Airport Director in Morgantown for the last few years. He kept trying to get WVU to fly the mens Football and basketball team out of there but they would never do it. They Refuse.
Also he had plans drawn up for runway extension and it keeps getting thrown on the back burner. It's all political crap. The City will not spend the money.
He brought them more money in by having the national guard guys land there and get fuel. Since he was in the gaurd himself that was easy.
During the Auburn Game they were overloaded with planes from just their fans. about 30 or so. They parked them all over the airport since they filled up all the hangers.
any questions on stuff just ask me
