Summer Is On The Horizon
Q. What does the summer flight schedule look like? We have a very busy flight schedule throughout the summer months, especially in the morning hours. Similar to last year, we are encouraging you to arrive 2 hours prior to your flight. Not only will this benefit you, but it will help us move all passengers through the screening […]

March Manager’s Minute
I recall several people telling me, during and after, my first winter as Airport Manager in 2016/2017, “don’t worry, this is not normal, you won’t see snow like this again for another ten years…” Oh, really? The joke around the office is, I am like Charles Shultz’s Peanuts character, “Pigpen”, with the constant cloud hanging […]
Todd Combs – A Memory to Share

Airport Q & A
Q. Why doesn’t SUN have TSA “Pre-Check” in place? This is a question the TSA, airlines, and the airport get asked frequently. The answer is, at single lane checkpoints like the one we have here at SUN, a dedicated TSA Pre-check lane is not possible. Instead, what we have at SUN is a “hybrid” Pre-check […]
October Managers Minute
Summer went by fast. And if you traveled through SUN, you’ll know it was especially busy at the airport. Between ongoing construction (parking lot and expanded air carrier parking apron), one of our busiest annual fly-in events, and an overall busy flight schedule, there was never a dull moment. Overall, we had a safe and successful summer […]
Manager’s Minute An update from Chris Pomeroy
Our newsletter is a little late this month — pardon our delay. We were waiting for things to settle down with our construction project before giving you the latest and greatest. As you hopefully know by now, we are over the initial hump of our entrance, exit roads, and parking lot project. The new entry/exit […]
