THOMPSON, MAN. — Community members got their first look at the new Thompson Regional Airport terminal in northern Manitoba recently as the airport opened its doors for a public open house.
The 44,000-square-foot terminal replaces the airport’s existing aging 14,000-square-foot facility and is part of a $125-million redevelopment program at the airport.
Operations from the new terminal will start Oct. 4, a release notes, with the official grand opening taking place later in October with government, Indigenous leaders, community partners and stakeholders from across the north.
The Thompson Regional Airport serves approximately 120,000 passengers annually, over half travel through YTH for medical appointments.
Approximately 45 million pounds of freight move through YTH annually to northern Manitoba and Nunavut, the release adds, and YTH supports passenger, cargo and medevac services connecting communities across northern Manitoba.
