SHIPPENVILLE — Jet fuel sales took off last year at the Clarion County Airport, thanks to the facility’s runway extension project. The Paint Township facility, which bills itself as a convenient fuel stop for the New York-to-Chicago market, saw jet fuel sales jump from 6,464 gallons in 2007 to 10,545 gallons last year. Airport manager Scott Sheffer said the increase is primarily due to the extension project, which added 900 feet to the runway. |
