SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request 
from the City of Kingman to release 832.6 (+/-) acres of federally 
obligated airport property at the Kingman Airport (IGM), Kingman, AZ. 
This acreage was obtained from the United States Government under the 
Surplus Property Act of 1944. The release of property will allow the 
City of Kingman to dispose of the property for non-aeronautical 
purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 27, 2026.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the Kingman Airport, 
7000 Flightline Dr., Kingman, AZ 86401, and the FAA Airports District

comments on the Sponsor's request must be delivered or mailed to: Kyler

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kyler Erhard, Manager, Phoenix 
Airports District Office, 3800 N Central Ave., Suite 1025, Phoenix, AZ

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject property is an undeveloped, 
irregularly shaped 790-acre parcel owned by the City of Kingman. It is 
situated east of U.S. Highway 66 and directly adjacent to the west and 
south sides of IGM. The surrounding area includes commercial and light 
industrial development to the west, Kingman Airport and Airport 
Industrial Park to the north, and vacant land to the south and east. 
Additionally, the site borders a Burlington Northern and Santa Fe 
Railway (BNSF) mainline, providing options for rail-served parcel 
development. The land directly borders the airport's airside and 
landside facilities, separated only by a perimeter fence. Historically, 
this property was utilized to store surplus aircraft following World 
War II. An additional 42.6 acres is included in this release request to 
reflect the land required for the proposed Flying Fortress Parkway, 
which bisects the subject property. The property will be sold to the 
City at the Fair Market Value (FMV) which has been determined to be 
$8,000,000. Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and 
Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the FAA to provide an 
opportunity for public notice and comment prior to the ``waiver'' or 
``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to use certain 
airport land for non-aeronautical purposes.
    Authority for the Policy: This notice is published under the 
authority described in Title 49 of the United States Code, Subtitle 
VII, part B, chapter 471, Section 47107(h)(2).

    Issued in Phoenix, AZ, on October 27, 2026.
Kyler Erhard,
Manager, Phoenix Airports District Office.
