# North Little Rock Airport Commission meeting 9-17-2026

The North Little Rock Airport Commission held a meeting on September 17, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects at the airport. Key discussions included updates on ongoing construction projects such as the FAA-funded hangar on the far west side, the taxiway lighting rehabilitation project with contracts under legal review, and the runway 523 rehabilitation deferred to fiscal year 2028. The commission also approved the award of a contract to Wills Construction for a T-hangar project and discussed potential new projects including pavement expansion for business jet parking and additional hangar construction, both requiring FAA 80/20 grants. The commission agreed to prioritize terminal apron reconstruction and related road rehabilitation, with plans to start design work in October. Additionally, the commission approved amendments to airport rules and regulations, specifically removing the requirement for after-hours fuel provision and eliminating the mandate for employees to request photo identification from airport visitors, emphasizing safety and law enforcement involvement instead. Maintenance issues such as flashing repairs estimated at $6,800 were also addressed, with approval to proceed. The meeting concluded with preparations for an upcoming air show and a call for more volunteers.
