Airports TransAir pushes DoT as villain in Manitoba woes
TransAir claims the Department of Transport uses 1941 equipment on airports at Thompson Flin Flon Lynn Lake and The Pas in 1971 age to justify poor service. Spokesman Bob Scott says runways lack navigational aids and that Northern Manitoba roads and airports do not improve the carrier’s service. The Pas shows strong passenger demand while Thompson declines and Lynn Lake rises, but TransAir insists the core issue is ongoing service failures and poor public relations rather than aircraft or locations.
