Environmental Assessment Available for Comment

January 4th, 2012

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport has recently completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the demolition of buildings partially located within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) of Runway 06. Buildings that are considered places of assembly are deemed to be a non-compatible use by the FAA and should be removed when the opportunity is presented.

The Airport was able to purchase the Highlander Inn & Conference Center when it was put up for sale by the previous owners. The Inn is located within the RPZ. The FAA partially funded the purchase of the property and will be funding the demolition. 

As part of the FAA’s approval process, an EA was conducted and is made available for public comment for a period of 30 days. If you would like to review and comment on this document, please click on the pdf file at the bottom of this page.

Comments may be emailed to John Hagopian at: jhagopian@flymanchester.com. The comment period will close on February 3, 2012.

Airport Aces Fourth Consecutive FAA Inspection

April 30th, 2009

Each year, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and all other commercial passenger airports nationwide must undergo an intense certification and compliance inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). For the fourth consecutive year, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport passed the FAA Part 139 - Certification and Operations Inspection with flying colors - no discrepancies or reportable conditions.


According to Airport Director Mark P. Brewer, A.A.E. "it's rare for any airport to complete an FAA Part 139 inspection and not have something that needs to be corrected or improved. The fact that for the fourth consecutive year this airport had no reportable conditions or items needing correction is an impressive statement about the operation of this facility.  Manchester’s continued success can be directly attributed to the hard work and dedication of the operations professionals who maintain the airport in top condition year-round."


Included in a FAA Part 139 - Certification and Operations Inspection is a review of:
• airport rescue/firefighting equipment, training and response times
• airport emergency plan
• operations/maintenance personnel training and performance
• all paved/unpaved safety areas and runway approaches
• all markings and lighting
• snow and ice control procedures
• airport's self-inspection program
• all operations and maintenance records and logs


After careful inspection of the airport and reviewing each item contained within its certification manual, the FAA found Manchester-Boston Regional Airport to be a safe, efficient and well-run operation.
