Government Invests in Thompson Regional Airport Safety and Connectivity

The Government of Canada announced a $30 million investment in Thompson Regional Airport to enhance safety and connectivity. This funding, through the Airports Capital Assistance Program, will finance the construction of a new apron and taxiways, addressing issues caused by destabilized permafrost. These upgrades aim to improve safety and year-round connectivity for the airport's services to 37 northern communities, including 15 remote Indigenous areas only accessible by air and ice roads.
