Kamloops Airport to receive new aviation firefighting truck
KAMLOOPS — With passenger numbers now above the 300,000 mark, the Kamloops Airport is adding to its safety fleet.
The Minister of Rural Economic Development Bernadette Jordan was in Kamloops on Wednesday morning (July 3) to announce $1.2 million in funding for the airport.
The money will allow YKA to purchase a new aircraft rescue firefighting vehicle. A second truck is needed to accommodate more passengers and the larger airplanes flying in and out of Kamloops Airport.
