Salt cannot be used on airport runways because it is corrosive and can create flying object debris which poses a safety hazard to aircraft, the QC International Airport said. The airport is seeking to replace or purchase a variety of equipment, including a rotary snowblower, plow trucks, runway snow brooms and more, the QC International Airport said. “The machines are large, complex and are run through some of the harshest conditions so having enough machines and parts can help save on costly maintenance and help reduce delays or cancellations of flights.” “We have an obligation not only to the FAA but to our travelers to keep our airport safe and operational during snow events which is why snow removal equipment is absolutely imperative,” said Benjamin Leischner, A.A.E., executive director, Quad Cities International Airport.
The airport said in a media release Tuesday, it will likely use this funding to purchase crucial snow removal equipment, then any remaining funding will go toward the airport’s major terminal renovation plan, Project GATEWAY. DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - The Quad Cities International Airport will receive an initial $2.86 million as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
