Bend Airport SW Quadrant Tenants / Users!  Restricted Access / Closure: Don’t Be Caught by Surprise!

If you’re a tenant or a user of the SW Quadrant of the Bend Airport, you should know by now that the “Taxi Lane” pavement throughout that area will undergo a serious “Rehab” during all of April.  And maybe beyond.  Most of the pavement in the area will be closed to aircraft, vehicles and pedestrians starting March 30th.  Details were included in the MARCH 2026 AIRPORT NEWSLETTER, published by Airport Manager Tracy Williams about a week ago.  If you did not receive that newsletter you may request it from Tracy at trwilliams@bendoregon.gov.

IN-person, and virtual briefing meetings were held March 4th.  If you missed those meetings there may be an opportunity to view the recording of the simulcast video here.  If that recording becomes available we’ll publish it on this web page.

This is your last chance to …”Review all relevant preflight data, including NOTAMs….and airport operational conditions…” (14CFR 91.103)
