19 AIRLINERS WAITING ON THE TARMAC FOR 1 BUSINESS JET (bizjet) TO LAND AND 1 TWIN ENGINE CARGO AIRCRAFT TO DEPART
This is the core problem with Lindberg having a single runway. EVEN GILLESPIE HAS TWO PARALLEL RUNWAYS. This means Gillespie is scheduled for flight schools, bizjets, and cargo to make more room for the expansion of ten gates at Lindberg.
In 2009 the City of Santee was in opposition
of the expansion of Gillispie Field.
What is Santee's current position on the
expansion of Gillespie Field?
Gillespie Field is officially building "A State-of-the-Art Flight Training Center"
on the 70 acres that
used to house the El Cajon Speedway.
