Watford City Municipal Airport runway dedication

The Watford City Municipal Airport held a runway dedication ceremony event on July 16th for their new 6,550 ft long concrete runway. Additionally, the project also included a new parallel taxiway, connecting taxiways, airfield lighting, navigation aids (NAVAIDs), an automated weather observation system (AWOS) relocation, and a new electrical vault. This exciting upgrade will greatly enhance air service and business opportunities within Western North Dakota and is a product of over a decade of planning and collaboration between local, state, and federal partners.

The Fly North Dakota Airports Passport Program is a fun reason for pilots to get out and fly while supporting aviation in North Dakota at the same time. Grab your passport book and start collecting your stamps. Go to www.nd.gov/ndaero or call 701-328-9650 for more information!
