GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina has completed a $150 million project to add a third runway.
The new runway beginning operations Wednesday is part of an expansion plan that began more than a decade ago when FedEx Corp. announced it would open a hub there. FedEx began operations at its new airport center in June.
Piedmont Triad Airport Authority chairman Henry Isaacson says the runway will give the region a competitive edge for economic growth. The landing strip is 9,000 feet long and runs parallel to the airport's main 10,000-foot runway.
Charlotte-Douglas International Airport opened a fourth runway earlier this month.
