As part of its recently approved 20-year growth plan for Mississippi’s Trent Lott International Airport (KPQL), the Jackson County Airport Authority has approved a $7 million project that will add 15,000 square yards of apron space with frontage for aircraft hangar development and 2,700 square yards of connector taxiway for access to the existing parallel taxiway.

Airport director Cinnamon Snyder told AIN that in addition to more ramp parking, the move is intended to attract an MRO provider to establish a maintenance capacity at the airport. Construction is expected to commence in early 2025, with planned completion by 2026.
