Russell airport seeks municipal status name change sought
Russell Mayor Bill Russell told Minister Len Derkach that The Russell Flying Club should be renamed The Russell Municipal Airport to reflect public use. Councillor Rosnoski argued the current name implies a private club while the facility serves pilots, government jets, air ambulances and Tremaine Air Service repairs, and is favored for runway length and weather reliability. The council plans to apply to Transport Canada to reclassify and gain increased funding and after dark jet operations.
