Expansion plan

On December 7, 2011, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District (CRSD) announced an expansion plan for the airport. While some parts of the plan are still preliminary and tentatively scheduled to take place over the course of the next few years, such as the extension of the runway, some other improvements in the Revelstoke Airport expansion include the upgrading of the terminal building and improving the airport's navigational systems. A 110 m (355 ft) runway extension was undertaken in 2014.[3]

If the expansion of the airport were to take place, the projected cost would be about $765,000. $365,000 would come from the city's Resort Municipality Initiative funding, with the other $400,000 coming from the CSRD, although the latter funds would require the approval from the CSRD board.

The plan is to attract regular charters to bring tourists to Revelstoke and eventually develop the airport to implement regular commercial flights from other cities.[4]

In the 2016/2017 ski season, Pacific Coastal Airlines will be operating a scheduled charter flight service to the airport for ski travelers.[3]

Airlines and destinations

gollark: Legacy code, beeoid. It's a complex platform.
gollark: This is a possible possibility, yes.
gollark: which could possibly be cool.
gollark: In my `writing_ideas` notes which will probably never be written I have> The world is a simulation, and a very buggy one. You can phase through walls if you walk through them at just the right angle wearing certain colors of T-shirt. Why is the clothing tear resistance code tied into collision detection? Why does it care about color? Nobody knows; it's filled with bizarre legacy code. Occasionally someone finds a really exploitable issue, runs off to certain regions of the world to “test things”, and disappears. Perhaps they manage to escape into reality somehow. Perhaps they're somehow “hired” by the admins to patch further issues. Perhaps they're just deleted to preserve stability.
