DescriptionA public use airport in Lowndes County, Mississippi, United States located midway between the cities of Columbus, Starkville, and West Point, Mississippi, and serves the area known as the Golden Triangle and the surrounding region of Mississippi. GTR is mostly used for general and military aviation and for charter aircraft for college athletic teams visiting Mississippi State University, but is also served by Delta Connection. GTR is the nucleus of a new industrial complex in northeast Mississippi. Golden Triangle Regional Airport covers an area of 1,000 acres (405 ha) at an elevation of 264 feet (80 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 8,002 by 150 feet (2,439 x 46 m). In 2003 a $1.6 million air traffic control tower was opened to maintain the safety of the flying operation and is manned under the FAA's Contract Tower Program. The runway was repaved and strengthened to take commercial aircraft up to a Boeing 757. Two additional parking ramps were constructed and the two existing ramps were rehabilitated. The terminal has had minor renovations but a major expansion was completed in 2010. A runway expansion from 6,497' to 8,000' was completed in June 2011. 13 miles to the West is Bryan KSTF airport. The two airport look very similar from the air and are often confused with each other. >>> Both airports are covered with this one entry.
