New Catalina Airport runway overview. Looking East across the entire facility, from 400 feet elevation with the drone on April 30. The numerals “22” indicate that a landing aircraft is headed 220 degrees magnetic azimuth. The new concrete runway surface is 60 feet wide and 3,000 feet long. The concrete itself is four inches thick, except on the ends and along the edges, where it is closer to five inches.
