86 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 2, ISSUE 4 “The Lancaster Airport (LNS), located on 850 acres between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, is the third busiest airport in Pennsylvania” explains Ed Foster, Executive Director for LNS. “When you look at airplane operations, we have a very robust amount of activity that includes corporate and private jet traffic, general aviation traffic, as well as commercial airline traffic. We are also a frequent stop for military aircraft due to our proximity to Ft. Indiantown Gap, a National Guard Training Center as well as other military bases. Located adjacent to our terminal is Fiorentino’s Italian Restaurant, which is a popular eatery for private and military pilots and their crew. This is a favorite spot for general aviation pilots to fly in and enjoy a great meal and airplane watch. Upgrades LNS has two asphalt paved runways: 08-26 is 6,933’ x 150’ while 13-31 is 4,102’ x 100’. With an airport that sees so much traffic, a constant stream of maintenance and rehabilitation is necessary to keep the infrastructure running AT A GLANCE LANCASTER REGIONAL AIRPORT WHAT: Third busiest regional airport in Pennsylvania WHERE: Located in Lancaster County, PA WEBSITE: www.lancasterairport.com A busy airport with impressive upgrades taking flight
