“The airport is something in the era of COVID with people looking to pull out of New York that we might be able to leverage to bring more business to Danbury,” Boughton said. “I do think there is an opportunity there, and we need to cash in on it.” The campaign to elevate Danbury Airport as a centerpiece amenity comes at a time of leadership change and new investment at what has traditionally been one of the busiest general aviation facilities of its kind in New England. The improving condition of the city airport — which recently underwent a $1.4 million runway surface upgrade — contrasts with 2016, when the Federal Aviation Administration banned bad-weather night landings at Danbury Airport because trees had intruded into the airspace of a landing zone.
