New Ulm, MN (ULM) Airport Runway Extension Study
I am a member of the New Ulm, Minnesota Airport Commission. We are
currently conducting a justification study for the purpose of extending our primary runway from 4401 feet to 5000 feet. We are trying to locate aircraft operators (primarily jet aircraft) who would have need of a longer runway at New Ulm even if it is only a couple operations a year. The problem with trying to locate potential users of an airport is that since they don't use the airport it is difficult determining who they might be. If you are a person who might have need of longer runway at New Ulm or know of a individual, company, or fractional operator who has this need, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Dan Hoehn Chairman, New Ulm, Minnesota Airport Commission |

I have received several responses to this posting with several good
suggestions and helpful information. I should point out that the FAA requires us to be able to document a certain level of use/demand before they will commit funds to such a project. That is the purpose of my posting. We are exploring all avenues to locate such demand. What we need is a letter from an individual/company/fractional operator which states that that particular operator would have X number of operations at ULM based upon an extension of the runway. Although this number should be a legitimate possibility, the FAA does not monitor individual operators to determine that they met the projected use indicated by the respective operator. I would appreciate further responses from anyone with additional information helpful to our justification study. Thank you. Dan Hoehn Chairman, New Ulm, Minnesota Airport Commission |
