Arlington Municipal Airport - Master Plan

airport_osprey.jpgThe Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY) Master Plan Study Update has been undertaken to evaluate the airport's capabilities and role, to forecast future aviation demand, and to plan for the timely development of new or expanded facilities that may be required to meet that demand. The ultimate goal of the master plan is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport’s overall maintenance, development, and operation.

The master plan is intended to be a proactive document which identifies and then plans for future facility needs well in advance of the actual need for the facilities. This is done to ensure that the City of Arlington can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction to avoid experiencing detrimental effects due to inadequate facilities.

Arlington Municipal Airport is located in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and serves as a vital economic asset for the City of Arlington. As such, it should be carefully and thoughtfully planned and subsequently developed in a manner which matches the developmental goals of the community. An important result of this master planning effort will be a comprehensive development plan tailored to meet future facility needs. A comprehensive and proactive development plan protects development areas and ensures they will be readily available when required to meet future needs.
