CHANGE is the word for 2006 at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport.

STAFF CHANGE – We have had two long time staff members retire, Angelo Marangoni and Sandy Hunter. The years of dedicated service they have given to the airport and community are greatly appreciated and they will be missed. Everyone wishes them a happy and enjoyable retirement and we hope to see them again from time to time as they stop by to check up on us. Michelle Pilloud will be taking over as Property Manager from Sandy. Ashley Byrne has been hired as the new Administrative Assistant.

AIRSIDE CHANGE – There will also be significant changes on the airside. Phase One of the new covered tie-downs will be built this spring and summer. Groundwork for the extension of Taxiway Alpha to the tie-down area will be laid to connect the south runway to the tie-downs.

Runway 08R-26L will be upgraded from non-instrument to non-precision instrument by the end of summer if not sooner. This will require some field grading and ditch smoothing to prepare the wider strip. However, the most noticeable change will the on the runway itself. We will eliminate the displaced thresholds and install runway end lights in the pavement at the current threshold marks.

A new training area will be constructed to the south of runway 08L. This paved area will provide a home for the Air Cadets, offices and classrooms for the advanced driver training courses, as well as other related activities.

Last but not least we will be adding two helipads off the south apron.

GROUNDSIDE CHANGE – The main project this year is the start of construction for the new airport access road. The new access will be directly from Harris Road, follow the dike and join the airport property at the south parking lot. Eventually this road will tie in with the Golden Ears Bridge project giving Pitt Meadows Regional Airport almost direct access to Highway 1 and all municipalities to the south. This new access will make our airport a great location for business.
