The community celebrated the completion of major renovations at the Danville Regional Airport with a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon. Visitors and locals will now have a brand new, elevated experience when flying into and out of Danville.

The $1.2 million project to renovate the 62-year-old airport began over two years ago.

The renovations include a new airside canopy, increased security, and an upgraded pilot lounge.

“Not only did we make improvements to the building, we also made security improvements,” said Mark Adelman, Danville Transportation Services Director. “As part of that project, we widened an automatic gate so that we could bring buses out onto the ramp to serve larger groups.”
