Airport Operations Continue to Increase

The operations at the Georgetown airport continue to increase as shown in the following graphic to be presented Tuesday to the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board.


The math is somewhat fuzzy, but, calculations show, using city numbers, that total take offs and landings increased by 24.2% in July compared to a year earlier.

Total take offs and landings for this fiscal year have increased by 11.7%

Fuel dispensed show similar long term trends.


Even though there was a decrease in jet fuel dispensed in July, the total gallons sold for the fiscal year to date have increased 12.4%.

These results continue the trend noted back in January 2016, when almost 8,000(7977) take offs and landings were recorded. Now we are seeing over 10,000 operations per month.

So much for the city protestations that the airport is not being expanded. The operations and fuel sale numbers do not lie! The capacity of the Georgetown airport is definitely being expanded!
