A
study commissioned to attract additional passenger services
and find new investment has been released. 1000
Central Albertans were asked about passenger service at the
Airport. Travel agents and passengers were also
interviewed. Leisure travelers want to fly to
Vancouver, Toronto and Kelowna. Business travelers
chose Northern Alberta as well as Vancouver and
Toronto. Other destinations chosen were Saskatoon, Las
Vegas, Winnipeg, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and San Diego. 70% of the respondents say they are willing
to pay a premium for the convenience of flying from the
Regional Airport Red Deer. Among other recommendations, the
report concluded by encouraging the Regional Airport
Authority to continue lobbying for capital funding to
improve infrastructure at the Airport.
