HVGB Airport Delayed Due to Maintenance Work

A lot of customers were wondering what happened to the Airlines in Happy Valley Goose Bay this morning.

We spoke with General Manager Goronwy Price with the Goose Bay Airport.

Price says as the Goose Bay Airport Corporation was undergoing maintenance on the main runway.

He says early this morning they noticed the main runway needed maintenance work done before any aircraft can be in operation.

But he adds that the runway that was closed; is back in operation since 1pm.

The Goose Bay airlines would like to thank everyone for being patient.

We also spoke with Yvonne Jones who is our MP for Labrador.

She said last evening one of the aircraft that landed in Goose Bay caused damage to the runway 16/34.

The other runway 08/26 was closed for construction.

The runway was closed temporarily for safety issues, but the runway is now reopened.
