LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge County and the City of Lethbridge are moving forward in the joint governance model for the Lethbridge Airport, and a public information and consultation process is now underway.

They’re inviting members of the public to provide feedback following the launch of the new YQL Liftoff Project. The project aims to give the public an opportunity to learn more about the future of the airport as well as to provide comments on the various aspects of proposed planning.

The YQL Liftoff Project consists of three main components: The Airport Master Plan, Marketing and Governance.

The Airport Master Plan is designed to guide strategic planning by creating a 20-year development framework to meet short and long-term objectives.

Marketing opportunities will be explored, and a strategy will be created for the implementation of the recommended governance model.

The first opportunity for feedback is on proposed changes and updates to the Air Terminal Building here. Some of the proposed improvements include barrier-free washrooms in hold rooms and the creation of two separate gate locations to better facilitate departures.

As it progresses, there will be continuous opportunities to provide comments on several different aspects of the project and members of both the City and County believe public feedback will be essential.

The YQL Liftoff Project website will provide regular updates to keep the public informed throughout the process.

A trip calculator is also provided to give visitors an insight into the benefits and cost savings of using the Lethbridge Airport versus driving to Calgary.
