Detroit City Airport ALP Approved By The FAA

The Federal Aviation Administration has given a thumb’s up to the city of Detroit’s Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the Coleman A. Young International Airport. The ALP is expected to net about $100 million for airport development over the next 10 years. According to Mayor Duggan, the too-short runway made the airport nonviable. The grants will be used to add new hangars, a control tower, taxiways, and to improve the safety of the existing runway. Plans for the return of the Davis Aerospace Technical High School to the city airport will also be funded. The city previously received $111,000 in state and federal monies to fund plans for the airport, including the ALP.
