Background
Hartford-Brainard Airport (HFD) is located three miles from the City of Hartford’s downtown business district; it is a public-use, publicly owned airport situated on 201 acres and managed by the Connecticut Airport Authority. The airport is designated as a Regional General Aviation Airport and a Reliever Airport in the FAA’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). HFD can relieve congestion from nearby Bradley International Airport and provides general aviation access to the general area.
The airport consists of one seasonal 2,350-foot-long turf runway and two (4,400 and 2,300 feet long) asphalt runways, one lighted helipad, and supporting infrastructure that includes a taxiway system, aircraft parking aprons, an instrument landing system, air traffic control tower, weather station, vehicle parking, and numerous airport tenant facilities.
