These important improvements to the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport will benefit the local economy and increase safety. The rehabilitation and expansion of the existing runway and taxiway will help accommodate larger planes, including business class, turboprops, and light jets. The construction of a new apron space will increase the parking area and allow for heavier aircraft to be parked. A new hangar access road will reduce the use of taxiways by vehicle traffic. Improvements also include the installation of additional runway, taxiway and approach lights. The Government of Canada is investing $1.2 million in this project, while the Government of Saskatchewan is contributing $999,900. The City of Moose Jaw is contributing $500,100 and is responsible for any additional costs.
