The EWVRAA is pleased to announce that it has secured a grant in the amount of $1,100,000.00 to be used for the expansion of Taxiway Echo as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. www.faa.gov/recovery

THE EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA REGIONAL AIRPORT is located in south Berkeley County West Virginia and consists of 1,005 acres.  It is bordered on the north and west side of U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 Diamond Interchange adjacent the west airport access.

THE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE:

-7,815 ft.  X 150 ft. runway.

- Non-Federal Control Tower funded by the Department of Air force and manned approximately 68 hours per week.

- Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR-9) has been installed at the airport to facilitate the Northern Shenandoah Valley.  Targets are remoted to the Potomac Tracon approach  control to provide “to the ground coverage” 24 hours per day at Martinsburg.

The existing civilian parking ramp is approximately 800.000 sq. ft., capable of handling all corporate aircraft to include light to medium airfreight aircraft.  The maximum weight capacity capability of Runway 08/26 is in excess of 600,000 pounds and is capable of launching and landing C-5 A military and 747 civilian aircraft.  This runway has the capability to be expanded to 9,000 feet on the present airport property; however, this expansion would necessitate the acquisition of some additional properties for re-location of the ILS, middle marker and the re-routing of one secondary road. Additional important assets of the airport are its geographical proximity to Dulles International Airport (28 nautical miles); Reagan National Airport Washington DC (55.9 nautical miles and Baltimore-Washington International Airport (55 nautical miles).  An Industrial active rail spur located approximately ½ mile from the west airport access parallel to U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 and intersecting the Tablers Station I-81 interchange access.
