Facilities and Aircraft
Key West International Airport covers an area of 255 acres (103 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (9/27) measuring 4,801 x 100 ft (1,463 x 30 m). For the year 2006, the airport had 94,408 aircraft operations—an average of 258 per day. This included 51% general aviation, 29% air taxi, 14% military and 6% scheduled commercial. There are 45 aircraft based at this airport: 30 single-engine and 15 multi-engine.
The airport has two terminals designed by Mark Mosko/Dwane Stark of URS; Mosko also did work on the Baltimore/Washington International Airport. The older one opened in 1957 and now serves arriving passengers. The newer terminal opened in February 2009 and serves departing passengers. With an area of approximately 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2), it more than doubled the size of the airport. Parking for 300 vehicles is located at ground level beneath the newer terminal—150 spaces for rental cars and 150 for the public.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
