As spring arrives, several great changes continue happening in and around Pearland Regional Airport and we are happy to report that KLVJ is thriving and doing better than ever!

Although Texas has lifted the mask mandate, Pearland Regional Airport is still committed to the health and safety of our visitors and based personnel. Hand sanitizer stations have been added at all entrances and we have installed several air purifiers with UV lights throughout the entire building. The airport will also continue to supply masks for anyone that wishes to wear one and does not already have one.

Thank you to everyone for the smooth transition to our new CTAF frequency on 122.725. We have heard from several of you regarding the reduced radio traffic and to no surprise, everyone is loving it! We are excited to announce that along with the CTAF change, the airport has now partnered with LiveATC and is now broadcasting the CTAF online for anyone to listen from anywhere. LiveATC is a great tool for students learning to use the radio, anyone interested in aviation, or even experienced pilots just wondering what the traffic is like before heading out to the airport. Visit https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=klvj for multiple options to tune in through computer browsers, smart phones, and more.

Speaking of great changes, many of you will be excited to learn that beginning May 1 Pearland Regional Airport will begin offering based tenants with Off Airport Access Agreements (OAAAs) and Ground Leases the option to pay fees online! Credit cards and direct bank payments (ACH) will both be available options. Be on the lookout for an email coming soon for detailed instructions on how to get signed up and save time and the hassle of using checks! Also, for any based tenants that may be interested in purchasing a security gate remote, let me know as we only have a few left in stock!

Please note that on occasion, our newsletters will spotlight local companies. If this is something your business would be interested in please do not hesitate to reach out for more details. This month, Air Professionals (Air Pros) have shared some awesome details regarding their Pilot Shop so be sure to check out their article!

As always, feel to reach out with anything that I may be able to help out with and stay safe!
