Stephenville airport’s fortunes have been on the downslide for years, but accelerated after it was sold for $1 dollar to Carl Dymond in 2023 who announced lofty plans for the airport which never came to fruition.
This week, a Cape Breton-based aviation management company expressed interest in the facility, news that was welcomed by the local town council which is hopeful the airport can be saved in some capacity.
