CRANBROOK AIRPORT EXPANSION
Cranbrook - British Columbia |
Cranbrook Airport has been identified as a potential gateway through which tourists from afar could access the BC Rockies. Significant changes to the airport are underway to accommodate larger aircraft and more passengers. These upgrades include an extension to the existing runway, terminal building expansion, and a series of upgrades to the fuelling, baggage handling, and related operational areas. Of significant interest is the construction of a Canada Customs and Immigrations facility to ensure timely processing of passengers. The new air terminal building will cover 2100 square metres and is scheduled for completion in late 2007. The state of the art facility will be mostly glass and wood to ensure the stunning Rocky Mountains are prominently positioned for viewing from all areas of the facility. The arrivals area is designed to handle international and domestic arrivals concurrently to ensure passengers complete a quick transition from airside, through customs to ground transportation in a efficient and timely manner. |
