The future of Cheyenne Regional Airport is uncertain with possible budget cuts associated with the sequestration. The FAA is looking at cutting $600 million out of their budget if no deal is reached regarding the sequestration. The FAA Contract Tower Program would take a brunt of the hit and the airport in Cheyenne falls under that program. As it stands now, 168 contract towers nationwide would be closed on April 1st. Another 21, which includes Cheyenne, would close on September 30th.
