A former pilot wonders if the deal to buy the Stephenville Airport is even real. Mayor Tom Rose announced in 2021 that Carl Dymond had purchased the facility. In a recent interview with Bay FM News, the Mayor said the deal should be finalized any day now. Graham Armour has been a pilot since the eighties and lived in Ottawa for 27 years, involved in the aviation industry. He says the man is basically unknown and no one in the industry has heard of him. Bay FM news has sent emails to the Dymond Group of Companies asking for an interview but they have not replied. Armour says he won’t talk to the media because he can’t answer tough questions, like why is the deal taken this long and exactly how much money has been invested? Armour says you don’t see buyers lining up to buy a bankrupt airport and there’s too much competition with the airport in Deer Lake. He says Stephenville hasn’t had a regularly scheduled air service since Pal pulled out in 2021. Armour says the Dymond announcement was part of Tom Rose’s mayoral campaign platform.
