Significant air traffic volume is expected at Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) in Hailey, ID for the 2017 Friedman Memorial Airport Event, to be held July 11 to 16, in Sun Valley, ID.
Due to limited overnight and extended parking, it is likely that “drop-and-go only” operations will be initiated as needed at various times throughout the event. During periods of “drop-and-go only” operations, operators will need to relocate to another airport after dropping the passengers at SUN.
Operators should contact Atlantic Aviation to confirm current ramp capacity situation.
