Local airport upgrade lobby
flying in heavy weather |

A common conversation these
days in Terrace is our growth as

‘the hub of the Northwest — the

economic base for the mining.
industry, the center of tourism.
And a‘common point in this.
daily debate is upgrading the
Terrace airport — most say it's
crucial if we’re to compete with
Smithers or communities in
Alaska.

by Tod Strachan

But it may be some time -

before we see an airport upgrade
or the words, ‘‘the hub’’,
coined. The airport upgrade was
a major point of discussion dur-
ing a joint Chamber of Com-
merce/city council meeting re-
cently and it appears that day
could be as long as five years
away,

According to alderman Darryl

Laurent, a Microwave Landing .

System (MLS) is slated for Ter-
race sometime before 1994, four
yeats before an international
agreement to have the entire air
transport system on-MLS takes
effect in 1998. But there’s resis-
tance to the change, according
to. Laurent. Airlines, small air-
craft owners and pilots aren't
ready to make the change.

He explains that both Canadi-

“gn. Airlines International and
Air B.C. have already instalied
Instrument Landing Systems
(ILS): dn their” aircraft (the Ter-

race airport doesn’t have this
system, either) and if afew air-
ports begin installing MLS elec-
tronics it would mean these
airlines would be required to
have both systems on board.
And that’s expensive, he says: as
much as $30,000 per aircraft for
MLS alone.

But alderman Bob Cooper
disagrees. According to Cooper,
Japan has on-board MLS elec-
tronics for under $4,000.
“That’s the way technology
works,’’ he says. “And I think
‘we should be pushing hard for
the equipment we need for
MLS. It would. draw more air-
craft. If we allow people to
think everything going north
goes to Smithers we've got a
problem.’’ Smithers doesn’t
have an electronic landing sys-
tem either — just more reliable
weather. .

According to Laurent, . how-
‘ever, the time isn’t right for
either type of electronic landing
system. He explains that MLS is
the ‘system of the future’, and
to install ILS when it would be
replaced ‘by MLS in probably
four years or less would be a
waste of money. But so too
would the installation of MLS
equipment tomorrow, he says:
‘Nobody would use it.’’

Faced with this reality, the
discussion turned to other ways
of -increasing the value of out

airport to the air transport in-
dustry. Customs was one sug-
gestion, This could open air
traffic between Terrace and the
states of Washington and Alas-
ka. The need for this service has
been a matter of discussion for

four years, according to Cham-
ber of Commerce president Dick

Sharples. But apparently gov-

ernment statistics don’t indicate
a need, .

Another suggestion was for
the city to buy the airport and
run it themselves. But Laurent
makes a cautionary note here.
Annual capital costs run around.
the $5 million mark and operat-
ing and maintenance costs result
in a $600,000 deficit every year.
This idea didn’t fly either.

Kelowna has asked Terrace to
support another project. A letter
from mayor James Stuart dated
April 14 “strongly urges all
municipalities in British Colum-

bia’’ to lobby for additional run-

way capacity at Vancouver In-
ternational Airport.

But mayor Jack Talstra has a
better idea.. The Airport Ad-
visory Committee has been
working hard on upgrading the
facility for more than three
years, he says, and although
they are maintaining ongoing

pressure on the government, “It.

may. be that at some point there

should be a delegation’ of our

own.”
