In the past five years, the Winkler County Airport (INK) has seen many significant changes that have stimulated business in the small community and improved safety operations.
Completed in November 2020, the airport teamed with Parkhill to rehabilitate all pavement surfaces, including Runway 13-31, Runway 4-22, all taxiways, apron and hangar access taxiways, and construction of T-hangars funded by Winkler County.
Winkler County also funded the rehabilitation of the airport entrance road, auto parking areas, and the hangar access taxiway.
In 2019, the airport teamed with Parkhill to build an eight-unit, bi-fold door T-Hangars with an attached 75’ by 75’ bi-fold door hangar to accommodate the growing need for large aircraft at the airport. The design and construction of this project were funded 100% through Winkler County.
This investment has helped bring more aircraft to base at the airport and increased revenue and fuel sales. As a result, the airport has attracted military activities, contributing to the increase in fuel services and revenue. Prior to these improvements, the airport would go days without seeing an aircraft. Today, aircraft from across the nation and international businesses utilize the Winkler County Airport.
Between 2018 and 2021, the county’s total investments in airport improvements have significantly impacted the use of the airport, business involving the airport, and economic growth in the community.
