ALBURY airport is set for an ambitious nine-year program costing $24 million, funded by the rapidly growing number of passengers using jets and turboprop planes.With 200 passenger flights a week using the airport, councillors this week approved the design of a $4.6 million new car park to be built next year.
General manager Les Tomich yesterday confirmed that staff had flagged further big-ticket items including upgrading the main runway and extending the terminal building.
An overlay for the 1900m runway could cost $3.5 million and is earmarked for 2010-11, while extending the terminal means another $5 million, probably in 2011-12.
