David Ryan, Friday Harbor Airport Manager, announced on Aug. 10:

Due to concern over closure dates from our commercial operators, Friday Harbor Airport is revising the runway closure schedule as follows: Runway 16/34 will be closed from Tuesday, September 7 at 8:00 pm until Friday morning, September 10 at 6:00 am weather permitting. If weather conditions preclude closing during this time, runway 16/34 will be closed Monday, September 13 at 8:00pm until Thursday, September 16 at 6:00 am. If weather conditions preclude this closing, the runway will be closed at the contractor’s discretion at a date to be announced. There is a 30 day interval between the fog seal and final painting. Both require warm dry days to apply. Postponement of this closure may result in additional closure dates. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please call me at the airport office 360-378-4724.

Earlier, Ryan had issued the announcement that Friday Harbor Airport Runway 16/34 would be closed beginning at 8:00pm August 17th, 2010 and remain closed until Friday morning, August 20th at 6:00 a.m.
