Newly Renovated 10,000-ft. Runway
East Texas Regional Airport (GGG) features a 10,000-foot runway (Runway 13/31) — one of the longest paved runways in East Texas — capable of supporting a wide range of aircraft from light general aviation to large corporate jets and air taxi operations.
Enhanced Capacity & Performance: The runway’s extended length, at 10,000 feet by 150 feet, accommodates larger aircraft and provides flexibility for a variety of flight operations, including charter and corporate jets.
Improved Safety & Reliability: Recent renovation and repaving efforts ensure a smooth, durable surface with precision markings and lighting to support safer takeoffs and landings in varying conditions.
Supports Growth & Aviation Activity: The upgraded runway continues to serve as a key asset for regional air traffic, attracting business aviation, air taxi services, and flight training operations.
Strategic Advantage: Its length and condition make GGG a competitive alternative to busier airports, supporting efficient operations with minimal congestion — a benefit for both based aircraft and transient traffic.
The airport’s runway improvements are part of broader investment efforts that include new hangar construction, taxiway upgrades, and other infrastructure enhancements aimed at strengthening East Texas Regional Airport’s role as a regional aviation hub.
