Casper-Natrona County International Airport

All roads in and out of Casper were essentially closed Monday.

Airport director Glenn Januska said not every flight from the airport will be on a 175.

He said to ensure Casper was chosen as one of the three locations for 2020, it was important to emphasize what the community could offer to attendees and demonstrate the airport's capability to host such a large gathering.

Since 1995, the airport has provided training for 2,400 Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting personnel from 80 departments across the country.

The company estimates power should be restored by 10 a.m.

The foam suffocates and cools the fire, suppresses escaping vapors and encapsulates the toxic vapors.

Airport manager Glenn Januska said the need for a new Customs Office was long overdue.

Before the alternative system, the only way a business could take advantage of the foreign trade zone was to set up shop at the airport or the Casper Logistics Hub.

The new center’s location at the airport allows for greater coordination with the Casper Single Engine Air Tanker base.

The increased enplanements indicate the local economy is stabilizing, if not growing.

The facilities that have stored equipment were erected in the early 1940s when World War II raged, and the military needed to create a high-altitude air base.

The airline offers round-trip service from the Casper-Natrona County International Airport to Las Vegas twice a week.
