Our Mission and Goals...
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation's charge is to plan, construct and maintain the best possible transportation system and State facilities in the most efficient and economical manner utilizing quality management techniques consistent with available resources and mandated controls. The Department is committed to excellence, safety, innovation and the future.
The Bureau of Aeronautics works with aviation agencies at the Federal, State and local levels to preserve and promote a system of airports necessary to guarantee the future of air transportation in New Hampshire.
Airport Preservation Program - In an effort to promote, maintain, develop and preserve New Hampshire's Airport System, the Bureau of Aeronautics has launched the Airport Preservation Program. The program was introduced to New Hampshire's Airport Managers at the most recent Granite State Airport Managers' Association (GSAMA), along with the new preservation logos in the form of stickers (seen above to the left and right). The Bureau has created a series of posters describing various themes of NH's airports, reinforcing that each airport is an asset to its local community and to the overall state system. The posters will be distributed to the 24 public use airports, every two to three months, for display to the general public. Shown above is first in the series of posters, celebrating the rich history of aviation which has changed the way we use air transportation today. For additional information on these posters or to obtain the file for reproduction (8.5"x11" size), please email the Bureau at aclancy@dot.state.nh.us. Please see our Airport Directory page for more information on New Hampshire's Airports.
