Idaho Falls, Idaho
Idaho Falls Regional Airport
Airport Master Plan
Planned Competition: February 2010
Idaho Falls Regional Airport is in the process of completing an Airport Master Plan Update. The Idaho Falls Regional Airport is a primary commercial service airport serving the aviation needs of eastern Idaho, southern Montana and western Wyoming. The airport is served by four passenger service airlines including United, Delta, Horizon and Allegiant. The Airport Master Plan Update includes a detailed evaluation of the terminal building needs including recommended square footage to accommodate peak hour passenger flow over the 20 year planning period. Recommended landside development and areas for future non-aeronautical revenue generating activities will be included in the plan. The Idaho Falls plan includes an emphasis on public involvement and keeping users, tenants and the community involved in the planning process. The plan will ultimately provide an optimal layout of future facilities in an economical and environmentally responsible manner based on input and feedback from the airport planning advisory committee and local community.

Buhl, Idaho
Buhl Municipal Airport
Airport Master Plan
Completion Date: June 2009
The Buhl Municipal Airport is located approximately 16 miles northwest of Twin Falls, Idaho. The airport has been experiencing an increase in based aircraft due to the over flow traffic from Twin Falls and competitive operating costs at the airport.

The terminal area was evaluated for potential layouts to accommodate the increased hangar demand and provide the City of Buhl additional revenue generating opportunities from additional land leases for hangar development. The airport has a niche for accommodating small general aviation aircraft and the plan is to continue catering toward those types of users.

Polacca, Arizona
Polacca Airport
Airport Master Plan/Site Selection Study
Completion Date: August 2009
The Hopi Tribe recently selected Armstrong Consultants to complete an Airport Master Plan/Site Selection Study for the Polacca Airport. The airport has several existing design standard deficiencies including non standard runway width, safety area grading issues and collapsing pavement sections. The airport is located with two large arroyos off both ends of the runway which prevent a standard runway safety area and constrain future development. The Plan includes evaluating the existing airport location and comparing upgrading the existing location to relocating the airport to a new site. The feasibility of relocating the airport includes identifying suitable airport locations that avoid cultural and ceremonial sites in a very sensitive area. The airport is located adjacent to the Polacca Health Clinic which uses the airport for patient transfers and physician transportation.
