In 2015, there were 25 aircraft based at this airport: 19 single-engine, 4 multi-engine and 2 jet aircraft. [2]
In 1997, the terminal was modernized with five new gates, and the highway access has been reconstructed. A 2005 master plan calls for relocation of the main terminal to a central location on the airport site. The final design can be viewed here: [1]
CWA has T-Hangars for lease or an individual or corporation can construct their own hangar.[3]
On 1 September 2012, the airport began a $10 million modernization program, moving the security checkpoints and enlarging the ticket counters to lower passenger congestion. The airport is gaining a geothermal energy system that will reduce utility bills, providing all but 20% of its heating and cooling requirements.[4]
