GCIA: groundbreaking phase 1


The Gary / Chicago international airport held a ceremonial groundbreaking to commemorate the initial phase of a long-term expansion of the airport’s increasingly critical air cargo sector, which has quickly expanded since beginning operations in late 2020.

 

The groundbreaking announced roughly USD 24 million of multiple infrastructure enhancements to the airport, including the installation of a Jet-A fuel pipeline, installation of a new sanitary sewer system serving cargo facilities and a deicing facility and a new cargo logistics apron. When complete, these enhancements will give GCIA added capacity to service its air cargo operations.

 

The airport’s sanitary sewer system will be constructed by the US Army Corp of Engineers (Usace). The new cargo logistics apron will ultimately be used to accommodate an additional eight air cargo planes to operate out of the airport concurrently. (cj)
