At Cranbrook Regional Airport, only small commuter craft can land on the tiny airstrip.
Residents say it's time for a newer and bigger airport.
It s really spacious right now, it ll get cramped as it goes on, I m sure. Four major U.S. carriers fly into Glacier Park now that they can land huge passenger jets on the new runway. Cranbrook also wants to land bigger planes at their airport so more people can fly directly into the East Kootenays. A newer and bigger airport to bring more tourists to Cranbrook is still far from reality. The people who are pushing for one realize they have a lot of work ahead before this project takes flight.
