[edit] Runways

Currently the runway is 5,000ft (1,524 m), but plans are underway to expand it to 7,500ft (2,286 m) so that the airport can land larger aircraft. The extension is scheduled to be completed by fall 2008. Once the expansion of the ski areas is complete, there would then be a need for a runway capable of landing Regional aircraft as large as the Boeing 737. Even though Smithers was previously served with older generation Boeing 737 aircraft in the 80s and early 90s, the newer variants of these aircraft require longer runways.
