San Marcos Regional Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower will extend its operational hours by two hours each day to meet needs generated by increased air traffic, the City of San Marcos recently announced.
The airport’s air traffic control tower will now be staffed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily after the Federal Aviation Administration granted the city’s extension request, which will be funded through the FAA Contract Tower Program.
“San Marcos Regional Airport has consistently set operational records and continues to grow as a vital piece of our economy,” City Manager Bert Lumbreras said in a statement. “This extension is an important step toward maintaining a safe environment for everyone who uses the airport, including businesses and recreational pilots.”
