Construction Notes:

• All schedule dates are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.  

• Check current Nenana NOTAMs to get up-to-date information on closures. 

• Runway 5R/23L is closed due to ruts and soft conditions.

• Nenana's flight procedures will remain published as 4/22 until the first publication cycle after the FAA performs a flight check, which is currently scheduled for next May 2027.  The official change from 4/22 to 5/23 is planned for 9/30/27.

Lighting Status Update​​

​

The team is making steady progress toward restoring full airfield lighting at the airport.

•  Runway and taxiway lights, as well as lighted signs, are expected to be operational the week of November 23-27.

• The ASOS is operational. 

 

Another construction update will be distributed once lights have returned to service.
