McKinney National Airport (TKI) will close Runway 18-36 to facilitate ongoing infrastructure work. The closure is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. CDT on Friday, July 17, and will remain in effect until 6 a.m. CDT on Monday, July 20.

According to the city announcement, the closure is necessary to complete the repair of final items associated with the Runway 18 extension project. During this period, the runway will not be available for aircraft operations.

Pilots and aviation stakeholders are advised to monitor Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for the most current information regarding flight operations and potential updates. The city directs the public to check for updates via the official NOTAM search portal.

The Runway 18 Extension Project is a significant infrastructure initiative aimed at improving airport facilities. This specific closure window allows contractors to finalize necessary repairs before the runway reopens for regular use.

Residents and visitors planning air travel through McKinney National Airport during this timeframe should anticipate disruptions to flight schedules. It is recommended that individuals check with their respective airlines or flight service providers for any changes to their itineraries.

The city has provided a link for accessing real-time NOTAM data to ensure that all relevant parties have access to accurate and timely information regarding the status of the runway. The closure period is strictly defined to minimize impact on airport operations while ensuring the completion of critical maintenance tasks.

No other runways at McKinney National Airport are mentioned as being affected by this specific closure. The focus remains solely on Runway 18-36 during the specified dates and times.
