The city has big plans for the Campbell River airport, including doubling its revenue from fuel sales.
This week council reviewed the 2025 tactical plan for the airport, which has nurturing a positive business climate as its number one goal.
One big suggestion is doubling the airport’s fuel storage capacity to 120,000 litres, to provide more reliable service to customers but also to increase revenue. Fuel sales are the airport’s number one source of income.
The plan also suggests establishing new flight routes to northern BC, since many Campbell River residents work in the resource industries in the north.
The airport completed a marketing and branding plan last year, the city will start making use of it this year.
