ABIA Runway Closure - Impacts to Mueller
by Carrie Stefanelli
on January 14th, 2015
Dear Neighbors, I’m a Mueller resident and work at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA). We are closing our east runway for 30 days starting January 19 in order to do major airfield improvements. The runway closure will have a slight impact on Mueller – aircraft will have to use the west runway which will result in a temporary increase in traffic over Mueller and other neighborhoods. My co-worker Stephen Dick, who runs our noise and flight track monitoring program, is notifying neighborhood associations of this temporary traffic increase. He will be speaking at the Mueller Neighborhood Association meeting this Saturday, 1/17. If you are unable to attend the meeting, but have questions or concerns about the closure impacts or about aircraft noise in general, you can contact him at 512-530-5541.
Best regards,
