Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra announced new funding for YXS through two programs
The Prince George Airport will be getting $3.1 million from the federal government through two funding streams.
It provides immediate assistance directly to airports so that they can keep operating safely for the communities they serve. This equipment is to help the airport maintain safe operations for aircraft, passengers, crews and airport workers by keeping runways and taxiways clear of snow and ice. “As Canadians start to travel again the air sector is working even harder to ensure the best travel experience as possible for travels. You have helped keep families connected and ensure that critical goods are moving across Canada safely and securely.”
These investments are in addition to the over $1.4 million in Airports Capital Assistance Program funding provided to the airport in May 2021 for the purchase of an aircraft rescue firefighting vehicle and a runway ice sweeper. He said this included moving essential travelers to and from workplaces, crucial medi-vac flights, and support for the forestry fire fighting operations that go on every summer.
