The 100LL fuel sales were up 30% in the month of January 2013. The Immokalee Airport FBO sold 2,945 gallons in January 2013, 673 gallons more than in January 2012. The increase can likely be attributed to the Airport making a push to attracting flight schools and transient pilots to the area. Jet A also saw a sharp increase in sales in January, with 8,073 gallons being pumped during the month. New customers such as Turbo Services and transient jet traffic are contributing to the large increase in the amount of Jet fuel being pumped. INSIDE THIS ISSUE • Runway 9/27 Data Collection /Design • Balloons Over Paradise Festival • GA Terminal Building Pilot Lounge Upgrades • USDA Building Build -Out Completion • Airport Calendar Runway 9127 Rehabilitation Data Collection and Design In Progress The Airport's consultant Hale Montes has been working diligently to help Airport Management prepare the design documents to help secure construction grant funding to rehabilitate Runway 9/27. Engineers have recommended the complete rehabilitation of Runway 9127 as it is rated to be in very poor condition and hasn't received any major repairs in over 60 years. As part of the data collection, ground penetrating radar and soil borings were conducted in January to get a better picture of the subsurface of the runway and acquire data to include within the design documents. As part of the design project, the FAA has asked the Airport to complete an Alternative Development Report to submit as part of the design of the rehabilitation. This report will summarize the data obtained during the data collection phase and possible alternatives for the project. Many users have commented that they are excited to see this project progressing and have stated that they feel it is long overdue, especially since this Runway is considered the Primary runway for the Immokalee Regional Airport. IMM Connection 1 q 2nd Annual Balloons Over Paradise Hot Air Balloon Festival Right Around The Corner The Seminole Casino Immokalee and Airport Officials have been busy planning the 2nd Annual Balloons Over Paradise Hot Air Balloon Festival.
