PRINCE GEORGE—The Airport Improvement Fee is increasing next year for all departing passengers from the Prince George Airport (YXS). The fee will increase by $10 bringing the total to $35 and will apply to travel beginning on or after January 1, 2024 for tickets purchased after December 1, 2023.
Over the next five years the Prince George Airport Authority is projected to spend $50 million on capital projects. Some of the long term infrastructure projects include a runway overlay on the main runways and the construction of a Runway End Safety Area to ensure safety and meet regulatory requirements.
“Passenger fees remained the same as we weathered the impacts of the Global Pandemic and passenger traffic is slow to return to pre-Covid levels. We did not take this decision lightly and our Leadership Team has done everything we could to delay this increase, however we are at a point where we have to make these hard decisions in order to ensure this vital link in and out of our region is set up to succeed.”
PGAA President and CEO Gordon Duke.
