CYS Master Plan 2025
Cheyenne Regional Airport (CYS) is in the process of updating its Airport Master Plan. The primary goal is to create a comprehensive, long-term strategy for the airport’s development and expansion. It will address both current and future operational needs. It is recommended to update a master plan approximately every 10 years to reflect changes in market conditions, emerging trends, and the evolving values of the airport and community. The previous CYS Master Plan was competed in 2014.
The CYS 2025 Master Plan is expected to be finalized during the first quarter of 2026.

An Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive study that outlines the long-term development strategy for an airport. Servicing as guiding framework, the plan identifies the airport’s needs over the next 20-year period. It factors in future aviation demand, available funding, environmental considerations, and the requirements of both current operations and anticipated growth.
