RM OF MOOSOMIN, SASK. – The Government of Saskatchewan and the Moosomin region are celebrating the completion of a new runway at the Moosomin Airport.
The provincial government invested more than $2.4 million toward the estimated $10 million Moosomin Airport infrastructure project, including a 5,000-foot-by-75-foot paved runway, along with a new taxiway and apron which were completed this summer, a release said.
The municipal airport is operated by the RM of Moosomin No. 121. The remainder of the project is funded by local municipalities, area community members and various donations, the release said.
“Although our municipality owns this airport, this aviation infrastructure serves the Moosomin region’s residents, families, local businesses and industries. Thanks to neighbours coming together and the provincial government’s investment, this project moved from vision to reality,” RM of Moosomin No. 121 reeve David Moffatt said in the release.
Fixed wing air ambulances serving Saskatchewan began landing at the Moosomin Airport in July and new navigation and weather systems will be completed in the future, the release added.
