The old airport in Williston, North Dakota, had a flawed runway 90 feet higher at one end than the other, limiting the size of planes that could use it and forcing authorities to bump some passengers to lighten planes during bad weather.
Williston International Airport
The best-known example occurred in February 1995, when Denver International Airport replaced Stapleton. United flight 1474 from Colorado Springs was first to arrive, according to Wikipedia. Perhaps the only other case in recent decades occurred in May 2010, when Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport replaced Panama City-Bay County Airport.Perhaps the biggest one is that its 6,650-foot principal runway has a 90-foot elevation difference from one end to the other.
Dudas, named airport director in 2017, joined the airport staff in 2011, after working at airports in Austin and St. Cloud, Minnesota. “I’ve always been interested in small airport operations,” he said. As opposed to running a bigger airport, “You do everything here,” he said. Still, the constant threat of irregular operations convinces many potential passengers to drive to Minot International Airport, 125 miles away.In 2016, the city hired Phoenix developer Don Cardon to oversee the conversion of the old airport’s 700-acre downtown site into a mixed-use master-planned community. Later, the city expanded Cardon’s role to include oversight of XWA construction. The new site is on 1,600 acres about 10 miles north of Williston.
Starting Thursday, Cardon can focus on dismantling the old airport and revitalizing the site. “We will work for the next four to five years on getting the old airport built up,” he said.
