It's absolutely impressive. Every time you take to the keyboards some absurd nonsense comes out. Must be some sort of record.

The Proposed Project
ERAA is proposing to expand cargo operations, bringing job creation opportunities and critical transportation capacity to drive our region's economic growth. An initial public notice was provided in March 2023; this notice provides a project update. The development is proposed to occur on approximately 2000 acres of undeveloped land southwest of Runway 12/30. The current undeveloped land is leased for agricultural use. The development will realign a portion of a low value unnamed watercourse and remove wetland features that pose risk to safe airport operation. These wetlands are currently cultivated. The project is comprised of four components: Base Services and Utilities, Airside Infrastructure, Runway Connections and Improvements, Groundside Infrastructure and building facilities that could range from 230,000 to 550,000 ft2 footprints. Supporting improvements include airport upgrades, roadways, a dry-pond stormwater facility and utilities. The building facilities could include capabilities such as E-commerce Logistics, Intermodal Cargo Handling, and light manufacturing or assembly. Early works for site preparation has commenced, based off the initial environmental effects evaluation and determination, and the overall development is expected to proceed in early 2026 with completion by fall 2027.

Or perhaps some of the crossover prep?

I think this is just east of the new base I believe.

Airport close to pre-2020 travel levels
The Edmonton International Airport says it's close to reaching pre-pandemic terminal traffic levels after seeing an increase in passengers last year.

Did you hear an Air Canada flight crashed at LGA airport due to air traffic controller error?
Given all the crashes and close calls in the USA recently, is it still safe to fly to and within the USA?!

Was gonna head to Phoenix in June but after hearing that “ICE” will be patrolling the security lines……not so sure. The crashy bits don’t confront me none as they are still few and far in between……

It occurred at LaGuardia (LGA) not London Gatwick (LGW).
Regardless, this is tragic. I hope the FAA (and the administration controlling them) can really get their act together. There was only one controller working both the ground and tower at the time of the accident.

Hm, yet another reason to absolutely and utterly forego any trips to the US.

Listen to the controllers on line last night. The ground controller had his hands full With the united flight at the same time. But it does not make me confident about travel south. And Now with ICE on Security lines. How many travelers will be detained now. Had a chance to go to Huston to see and new test facility. Decided not to go, to many things negative now.
