On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, the Louisville Regional Airport Authority hosted a media event showcasing the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is always open, even during harsh winter weather conditions thanks to the more than 35 primary pieces of equipment used to clean more than 17 miles of taxiways and runways. Ranked no. 6 in the world – and third in North America – for busiest cargo airports, it’s essential the airport team is prepared to handle whatever comes their way thanks to Old Man Winter. As part of these preparations, the Airport Authority has invested nearly $14 million in snow removal equipment since 2019 including the addition of nine, state-of-the-art MB2 multi-function vehicles. The MB2 snow vehicles reduce the time spent clearing the runways and taxiways by as much as 50%.
