Across Canada and around the world, regional airports play a vital role in connecting their communities to major international airports - and global markets and destinations beyond. The common challenge for these smaller airports, however, is driving awareness within their own community in order to attract and retain strong connectivity to international hubs.
In Western Canada, many resource-based cities are facing economic challenges. Low oil prices are drying up associated jobs and airports with routes that have traditionally relied upon oil workers are experiencing a downturn in demand. Despite this national trend, North Peace Regional Airport in Fort St John continues to fly high.
