Tracy Williams, Executive Director:The relatively long runway and vast concrete aprons are plenty big for the aircraft using the airport. The plan does not include lengthening the 8,000-foot runway, but it protects a possible extension. According to Airport Master Plan delays at Millington "are expected to be minimal over the next 20 years.”
The Millington Airport Authority unanimously approved the $17.7 million plan, a program of improvements to be carried out over the next 20 years. The master plan also calls for spending $2.4 million for new hangars and $4.6 million for a taxiway in years six through 10, and $2.2 million for hangars in years 11-20. But the Airport Authority has higher aspirations: jobs and revenue.

It envisions aviation-related companies locating at the Airport and possibly air carriers, too. The Airport is certified to host an air carrier, and some have made inquiries. Long range plan would include:
* Restore and add hangars, expand the terminal, build a taxiway and make other improvements.
* Rehabilitation of a large-airplane hangar now shut because of code deficiencies.
* The rehab project would cost $2.9 million, and schedules the work within the next five years
* Expanding the 3,000-square-foot terminal building by 1,000 square feet at a cost of $180,000.
* A room to accommodate more passengers and pilots

Airport Master Plan Forecast

|
 |
Development of the Airport Master Plan for the Millington Regional Jetport (NQA) was undertaken by the Millington Airport Authority for the purpose of examining the Airport’s existing and future role and to provide direction for long term development of the Airport. Financial assistance for the preparation of the Master Plan was provided by a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) Bureau of Aeronautics.
The purpose of this study is to determine the aviation needs of the Millington Regional Jetport and its area of service for the next 20 years. The study is part of the continuing planning process necessary to assure adequate and compatible airport improvements as required to meet the growing aviation demands associated with the Airport.
The overall purpose of this study is to provide the Millington Airport Authority with an effective planning tool to guide the future development of the Millington Regional Jetport. This Master Plan provides local officials with such guidance while ensuring that the development of the Airport is accomplished in a manner that respects the local environment and is consistent with the policies of the Authority. Accomplishment of this purpose requires the evaluation of existing Airport activity and facilities, and determination of actions needed to maintain an adequate, safe and reliable Airport facility to meet the needs of Millington and the surrounding communities.
