T
he Red Deer Regional Airport is a
vital component to supporting eco-
nomic growth—as well as a barom-
eter of the same.
The Red Deer Regional Airport is the gate-
way to Central Alberta, and key economic
driver for the region. On May 12, 2017, Red
Deer Airport’s runway extension officially
opened for business. The $9.5 million ex-
tension—jointly funded by the provincial
government and The City of Red Deer and
Red Deer County—opens the doors for
airlines to offer more flights to more desti-
nations which in turn will add a significant
boost for Central Alberta’s economy.
