PANAMA CITY – The Panama City – Bay County International Airport Authority announced in a press release its intention to construct a 10,000-foot main runway at the new airport in West Bay, subject to necessary permits.
Earlier, the Airport Authority had approved an 8,400-foot concrete runway with the option to extend it to 10,000 feet, if funding became available. The Florida Legislature, during its 2008 legislative session, awarded the airport an additional $4.5 million in funding to lengthen the runway to 10,000 feet.
