SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --- Due to runway repairs at Naval Air Station Norfolk, the runway closes beginning Apr. 28 for 45 to 90 days. Langley Air Force Base will serve as the alternate runway during the closure period.

Passengers and cargo will continue to process at NAS Norfolk followed by ground transportation to Langley AFB.

To allow sufficient time for ground transportation from NAS Norfolk to Langley AFB, passengers for Air Mobility Command organic or commercially contracted flights are to report to the NAS Norfolk air terminal four hours prior to scheduled aircraft departure time.

Traffic management offices should ensure passengers are briefed on the requirement to continue reporting to the NAS Norfolk air terminal and the change in arrival time.

Passengers are not to report directly to Langley AFB.

To allow for added ground transportation and handling time, deliver freight to the NAS Norfolk air terminal no later than 10 hours in advance.

Coordinate outbound explosives with NAS Norfolk air terminal prior to delivery.

For more information, contact Flight Lt. John Sykes at the Air Mobility Command, Tanker Airlift Control Center, DSN 576-5690 or commercial 618-256-5690.
