Tweed airport in New Haven will be expanded.
> **[Tweed’s embattled expansion](http://features.yaledailynews.com/blog/2023/11/06/tweeds-embattled-expansion/)**
>
> Tweed’s embattled expansion When Lorena Venegas returned to her childhood hometown of East Haven in 2009, the Tweed New Haven Airport was hardly on her mind. While she was aware of the airport’s proximity to the town — she even flew out of Tweed a...
> The airport’s proposed [expansion](https://www.tweedmasterplan.com/nepa-documents) would involve the addition of a six-story parking garage, a relocated 80,000 square-foot “east terminal,” a 462,500 square-foot aircraft apron for overnight plane parking and a 639-foot extension of its current runway.
> In anticipation of rising sea levels, the new terminal would be built on stilts and elevated eight feet above the current terminal’s height. According to King, the terminal’s underside would feature a “water collection system” to help manage flooding events. The assessment also announced plans to raise the current runway by three to six feet, which is above the state’s projected 20-inch sea level rise by 2050.
> Demand has been high since the 2021 deal with Avelo. Avelo Airlines unveiled nonstop routes to [Cocoa Beach](https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-haven/avelo-starts-new-flights-from-new-haven-to-florida-south-carolina/), Daytona Beach, Spartanburg and [San Juan](https://www.courant.com/2023/08/01/avelo-will-launch-flights-to-puerto-rico-in-november/) within the past year alone, adding to its existing flights, which [include](https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/avelo-airlines-adds-flights-tweed-new-haven-16984643.php) Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Baltimore and Chicago. The airport’s total [5,650](https://www.tweedmasterplan.com/nepa-documents) landings and takeoffs in 2022 exceeded even the master plan’s 2025 forecast.
>
> Flights have increased, but the airport’s operational capacity has not, contributing to Avelo and Avports’ desire for expansion.
>
> Per FAA standards, Tweed’s current 5,600-foot runway is not long enough to accommodate Avelo’s fleet of Boeing 737-800s at their full capacity; due to payload weight restrictions, the 183-seat planes can only accept 162 passengers. Even the airline’s smaller lineup of 737-700s can only carry full loads when conditions are “good.” Avelo Flight Operations Vice President Andrew Lotter called for longer runways in a [letter to Tweed](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rMwqa3fMYWYpw2mejjXHSCAkqsAm0hyh/view?usp=sharing), writing that “operating an airline at [Tweed] only in ‘good weather’ is not a sustainable business plan.”
