A runway construction project that began August 22nd prevented Delta and Allegiant from landing at the GFK.
The reconstruction of the intersection of two major runways cost around $9.6 million dollars.
GFK Executive Director Ryan Riesinger called it a big project in a short period of time. According to Riesinger crews worked around the clock in 24 hour shifts to be able to get the project accomplished in the quickest period of time…and safely.”
Smaller planes and UND flight students were still able to operate at the airport during the construction.
