Los Angeles-area business aviation hub Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) has completed the reconstruction project on its Runway 16L/34R, the shorter of its two runways. This will add at least another two decades of life to the surface. The $13.1 million effort took six months to finish and saw the complete rebuild of the 4,000-foot runway, with the use of 100 percent recyclable materials for its base.
