Quesnel City Council has approved a funding application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust to look into the possibility of building a new hangar out at the airport.
It is for a 10 thousand dollar grant from NDI’s Capital Investment Analysis funding program.
Lindsay Blair is the City’s Community Development Coordinator.
“This project is for an airport hangar investment analysis which will provide a business case and estimate the expected cash flow of a new hangar, access the riskiness of those flows, determine the need for a new airport hangar, estimate the appropriate opportunity cost of capital, and determine the project’s profitability and break even characteristics.”
Quesnel City Council to offer incentives to bring back commercial flights to the airport

Quesnel City Council is hoping to entice Central Mountain Air or another airline into once again providing passenger service by dangling a couple of carrots.
The idea was raised at Tuesday night’s Council meeting by Director of Community Services Jeff Norburn…
‘That we encourage commercial air carriers to provide flights in and out of Quesnel by waiving landing/passenger fees with some conditions for a limited period of time due to COVID-19.”
Norburn said that they would hope to tie that into a commitment from the carrier to then purchase fuel when they were in Quesnel.
