Three Peace region airports to receive provincial dollars
The Alberta government announced on Thursday a number of airports across the province will be benefitting through $1.13 million meant to support the development of regional airports.
Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors Devin Dreeshen says the province’s aviation industry plays an important role in strengthening and diversifying our economy.
“Regional airports are key assets in supporting the air sector and the movement of people. This investment will support the growth of Alberta’s regional airports and help restore and develop connections between our regional and international airports.”
Ten regional airports are being invested in by the province to develop business cases and feasibility studies for improving airport infrastructure and transportation. The funds are also to be used for increasing economic competitiveness through increasing the number of airlines and the efficiency of aircraft movement.
