SUMMARY
A report was submitted to the CAC on July 23, 2020 regarding the effects of the coronavirus on airport operations and financial performance at Hayward Executive Airport (HWD). This report provides updated information with a focus on aircraft operations, one of the primary indicators of activity at general aviation airports.
A variety of airports were recently surveyed in the San Francisco Bay Area and other locations in the United States, and it appears that airports in busy resort areas are recovering more quickly than airports in business centers, particularly in the New York City area. This is unusual. HWD continues to exhibit signs of resilience in today’s challenging marketplace and maintains good flight activity in comparison with many other general aviation airports.
