“The Bloomington Normal Airport Authority’s ongoing attention to the highest level of safety and compliance standards on our airfield has never wavered, even with the challenges of a public health crisis severely impacting the aviation industry., “ said Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority Chairman Jay Allen. “This positive review by the FAA further demonstrates the Airport Authority’s commitment to our responsibilities as part of our nation’s critical transportation infrastructure.”
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s inspection was completed virtually on November 23rd, 2020. The inspection started a month ago with Airport Operations staff preparing numerous records related to airport safety and operations. The review included records associated with Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting operations, Wildlife Management, Fueling safety operations, daily inspections of the airfield, equipment, and personnel training records. These responsibilities are conducted by BMI Operations and Maintenance, as well as the City of Bloomington Fire Department.
