A lot happened at the Quesnel Airport this past year.
Transportation Manager Thomas Grant says that included a major renovation.
“We did have quite a big project fixing up our departure area and our holding room, as well as some other upgrades within the airport itself and hoping to continue that with the government funding that we received for that project.”
Grant says they also added a second carrier.
“We brought in Pacific Coastal as well at the end of the year starting in October and that’s gone great, so now we have two carriers that are travelling to the south terminal in Vancouver. I think it gives people choices. Their parent companies are different so they are connected with WestJet, they also provide other options to the island and other parts of BC that will help people get to these places a little bit easier and quicker, and I think it’s going to be a positive for the airport.”
Grant says both carriers have been busy.
In terms of specific numbers, Grant says they should be available towards the end of the month.
