Aircraft Parking Apron
There are two primary aircraft aprons
utilized for public aircraft parking and
1-11
tie-down at Mesquite Metro Airport.
The north apron, identified on Exhibit
1C, provides approximately 13,400
square yards and 37 marked tie-down
positions. The south apron consists of
approximately 20,000 square yards and
has 14 marked tie-down positions, as
well as transient ramp space. The
south apron is expected to be lighted to
better facilitate evening operations in
2005.
Secondary apron space is available
fronting Moorehead Aviation and the
south hangar facilities.
Automobile Parking
There are several parking lots available
for vehicle parking at Mesquite Metro
Airport. The airport terminal building
parking lot provides for 37 spaces, two
of which are designated handicapped.
There is a second parking lot to the
north of hangar number 1130 #100.
This lot can accommodate 44 vehicles.
The total number of formal parking
spaces is 81. However, most aircraft
owners simply drive their vehicles to
their hangar rather than park in
identified parking and walk to their
aircraft.
Airport Road
Public access to the airport is served by
Airport Boulevard. Airport Boulevard
extends from Scyene Road to the
southernmost hangar complex. This
road was recently extended approximately
800 feet from the new terminal
building area to the south hangar
complex.
