Indianapolis Executive Airport (KTYQ) is celebrating the end of a construction project that increased the length of its lone Runway 18/36 from 5,500 feet to 7,001 feet, along with that of its parallel taxiway. A recent ribbon-cutting event for the lengthened runway was attended by airport personnel, state transportation representatives, and local elected officials.

The $15.2 million project, which began in 2020, was funded mainly through FAA Airport Improvement Program grants, with state and local government contributing the remaining 10 percent, according to KTYQ manager Sam Sachs.
