Wisconsin Airport, La Crosse Receives FAA Safety Award

La Crosse Municipal Airport (KLSE) in Wisconsin has been recognized as one of the safest airports in the region, and airport and La Crosse city officials received the FAA’s Airport Safety Award for 2008. The award is bestowed upon one airport in the Great Lakes region each year, with 95 commercial airports competing for the honor.

Both Northwest Airlines and American Airlines offer 10 flights daily from La Crosse, and airport Manager Dan Wruck said that the award is a reflection of the airport’s ongoing commitment to safety, including the recent contstruction of a second runway. Officials agreed with Wruck, and said that the renovation cleared up the confusion previously experienced by pilots, thereby increasing their operational capabilities.
