The chaos at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport just shows how popular the airport is becoming. More flights are constantly being added, and fuel is in high demand. In fact, Monday, fuel supply came into question.
"What we saw yesterday morning was a really high volume of scheduled flights, a high volume of passengers, a lot more than usual," said Sam Haynes, ABIA spokesperson.The chaos just shows how popular the airport is becoming. More flights are constantly being added, and fuel is in high demand. In fact, Monday, fuel supply came into question.
The industry average for reserves is five to seven days. Luckily no flights were affected, this time. "That’s the original facility that was constructed with the airport opened in 1999. It’s a case of the airport outgrowing that infrastructure," said Haynes.This comes after an event-filled weekend across Austin and massive crowds Monday morning that formed long lines wrapped around the building.
"My community is opposed to the proposed location of the jet fuel spot with it being about 500 feet from the nearest resident, it is just too close for comfort," said Vanessa Fuentes,The airport sits in council member Fuentes' district. She feels if the city uses this location, concerns for working class people in that area of town would be overlooked.
