Prince George Airport runway nearing end of its lifespan

Cost to replace fourth-longest commercial air strip in Canada pegged at $21 million

Home to the fourth-longest commercial airfield runway in Canada, Prince George Airport is facing a hefty bill to have that runway repaved.

“That piece of infrastructure, we’ve kept a really close eye on it and have monitored it closely but that was built in 2009 and in this environment of severe cold and freeze-thaw cycles the expected life span would be around 15 to 20 years,” said Prince George Airport Authority CEO Gordon Duke. “We’re going to get at least that much, but you can only defer that so long.”

With its ability to serve wide-bodied jets and commercial freight aircraft, the expanded Prince George runway was touted as the catalyst that would make the city a fuel stop for Pacific air freight traffic, capable of handling 15,000 flights annually.
