Mapping Our Future
The Sioux Gateway Airport is performing an update to the Airport Master Plan. Because the aviation industry is dynamic, airport master plans should be flexible and regularly updated by the airport owner. This will help to provide a roadmap towards the necessary adjustments the RS&H master plan project team requires to plot out the airport’s future. This may include the extension of runways, increase in the peak level activity, attracting more airlines to the airport as well as having an overall increase in activity leading to an economic boom. The process is collaborative, and necessary to align the airport’s role to continue support in the region.
On the Move
- Sioux City’s city council approved the issuance of bonds to finance the construction of a municipal airport south of town on November 22, 1937.
- Sioux City’s city council established the airport board July 10, 1961 to oversee airport operations.
- Following a major expansion and renovation project, the Sioux City Municipal Airport was renamed the Sioux Gateway Airport in 1986.
- While the master plan is a visionary document that sets out a ‘road map’ for the sustainable growth of the airport, it is now up to us to establish the course that will guide the airport for another twenty years.
Take Part
The master plan process is designed as an inclusive process that encourages citizen participation, and we encourage you to participate. There will be public workshops held throughout the course of the SUX Master Plan Update to gain ideas and insight from YOU who use the airport.
