expansion in the future is going to be on our radar,” Cole says. Specific improvements target passenger processing efficiency: “We’d really like to add another TSA line and get some more equipment there, which would involve expanding the terminal to a larger sterile area for the TSA.” PREPARING FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AIR RACES IN 2025 The arrival of national championship air racing represents Roswell Air Center’s highest-profile upcoming event. “They’re going to be here in September 2025, and we’ve got a lot of work to do to get the airfield ready for championship air races,” Cole says. Preparation spans multiple regulatory and infrastructure considerations: “That’s working with the FAA, that’s working with the TSA, getting entryways in place, including security fencing in place.” Planning and design work has already commenced. “We’ve been working with our engineers to get everything laid out and specced out so that we can start building bleachers out there or grandstands for this air race,” Cole explains. The viewing experience takes advantage of Roswell’s unique geography: “They’ll be facing towards the west towards Capitan Mountain. It’s going to be a beautiful view.” 181 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 03 ROSWELL AIR CENTER
