Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. SAV, along with various emergency agencies in the area, will hold a full-scale airport emergency plan exercise.

This full-scale exercise is conducted in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations that require an airport operator to conduct live drills on airport property every three years. The exercise will provide the opportunity for various agencies in the area to work collectively to enhance response skills for aviation mass casualty incidents.

The drill will have no impact on routine airport operations, and passenger announcements will be made in the airport terminal indicating that the disaster drill is underway. All flights will operate as scheduled. Area residents and visitors should expect to see emergency vehicles and other official traffic engaged in the exercise and controlled fire and smoke may also be visible.
