Welcome the Vinyl X to OTW
Our newest temporary runway closure marker is making its debut at OTW… say hello 👋🏼 to the Vinyl X!
Designed for use on runways or taxiways that need to be temporarily marked as closed, the Vinyl X is made of a lightweight, UV-resistant, PVC-coated polyester. This heavy-duty material ensures that your Vinyl X is weather and tear-resistant. Available in four sizes to support both runways (60x60x8, 60x60x10) and taxiways (30x30x4, 30x30x5), your next runway closure marker is a durable and versatile choice that meets all FAA requirements. Low-profile beanbags are also available as an anchoring option, and every Vinyl X is Buy American Qualified.
What are temporary closure markers?
If you’re in the aviation industry, chances are good you are familiar with runway closure markers. If you’re not, however, we’ve got a great blog article that digs into what they are and why they’re important. Check out our Guide to Airport Closure Markers for a refresh or to learn something new!

Which runway closure marker is best for my application?
The FAA has stringent regulations pertaining to closed runways, and every airport must abide by these rules to keep its passengers and crews safe. If available, a lighted marker (our Lighted X fits the bill) is recommended for marking all closed runways, but if one is not available, the other option is an “easily removed material such as plywood or fabric, rather than painted on the runway”. This is where the Vinyl X comes in. If you’re not sure which closure marker is the best choice for you, you can check out our Temporary Closure Marker Buying Checklist to determine if a lighted marker or a vinyl option is best for your application.
