Thompson Regional Airport receives $30M for needed improvements – Construct Connect
November 20, 2024
THOMPSON, MAN. — Through the Airports Capital Assistance Program, the federal government is giving $30 million to the Thompson Regional Airport for needed safety improvements.
The funding will go towards the construction of a new apron, two new taxiways (one paved and one gravel), new drainage and electrical systems.
According to a release, because of warming temperatures the permafrost at the airport has been destabilized, leading to the existing apron and taxiway having inadequate pavement strength to support essential aircraft.
