In July 2022, a realignment plan was submitted as the north shore of the Lisburne Peninsula – the land where Point Hope Airport is located, has recorded an erosion rate of 8-10 feet annually. The northern end of the Runway Safety Area (RSA) has already been removed and only 20 feet of RSA is available beyond the runway threshold. Construction is expected to start July 2023 and completion of the project set for July 2024.
