PLATTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LAUNCH
September 1st, 2005
Keith Nuthall
A FORMER air force base in up-state New York, USA, will be converted into an international airport, serving Montreal, Canada, as well as local American markets. US$20 million is being spent on upgrading Plattsburgh Airport, which has been used by industrial and freight customers since the air force moved out in 1995. It will be called Plattsburgh International Airport and be marketed as a travel option for Canadians, because Montreal is one hour's drive to the north. Construction began this summer (August).
