EAGLE COUNTY — Improvements that will be made this summer to the Eagle County airport runway will make it possible for airlines to offer nonstop service to faraway destinations.
Flying to New York in the summer is one possibility, officials said.
The airport will be closed for more than four months this summer while the runway is upgraded — from April 15 to Sept. 1. Part of the process includes lengthening the runway by 1,000 feet, which will allow for some aircraft to carry more fuel and still be able to take off. Vail Daily
