Deer Lake Airport Reports Record Traffic
Quote:
The Deer Lake Regional Airport has recorded an all-time high for passenger traffic. The airport authority says there were 306,071 passengers last year, surpassing the previous record of almost 294,000. The authority says the record-setting summer traffic helped the airport exceed the 300,000 passenger level for the first time in the airport's history. The airport is now the fourth busiest in Atlantic Canada behind Halifax, St. John's and Moncton.
President and CEO Jamie Schwartz attributes the record to increased capacity and airline support with major carriers serving the market, including Air Canada, Provincial Airlines, WestJet and Sunwing.
