    Dymond says he’s invested almost $9 million into this airport over the last 2 years. He says over the next couple of weeks, there will be vehicles and equipment delivered to the area so they can begin work on the hangers.

    After  spending 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, businessman Carl Dymond knows how it feels to be away from home as well as the joy of getting back to family and community. The transfer of ownership of the Stephenville Airport is now in his hands. He says it’s been a long wait but the day is finally here. Dymond says he’s invested almost $9 million into this airport over the last 2 years. He says over the next couple of weeks, there will be vehicles and equipment delivered to the area so they can begin work on the hangers. Dymond says the goal is to have an open and transparent airport but the deal was private.  Dymond plans on hosting an open event at the airport in the coming weeks to discuss “shared success over a cup of tea.”
