HSV Master Plan Completed

Huntsville International Airport completed the update of the airport’s new Master Plan in July 2020. Representatives from the Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority and the project team, led by Michael Baker International spent months engaging community leaders, business owners, and residents to encourage them to share their vision and aspirations for the future of Huntsville International Airport. Participants shared ideas, provided feedback on community values, and learned more about the master planning vision throughout the process.

“Huntsville International Airport team members, regional leaders, local business owners, and residents in our community worked in tandem discussing and developing this long-range vision for the airport”, said Rick Tucker, Huntsville International Airport CEO. This was a collective effort from many individuals that both care about the airport and understand that Huntsville’s economic future is tied to our airport’s success.”

Dream Chaser

Dream Chaser Update: The preliminary study proved the feasibility of landing, and today we are pleased to announce that we have imitated the permitting process with the US Federal Aviation Administration.

  • This process is expected to take 18 months and with coincide with the scheduled cargo re-supply missions for NASA to the International Space Station.
  • This is much more than an economic development project that will bring additional business to the airport and the community. This represents a shared vision of Huntsville as a leader in the commercial space economy as the first community to make a commitment to this vehicle and its role in space commerce.
  • We look forward to seeing “Low Earth Orbit” on our arrivals board!
