Jet pilots will now be able to refuel in Debert.
The Colchester Regional Development Agency (CoRDA) has entered into an agreement with the Truro Flying Club to provide a new jet-refueling service at the Debert Airport in the Debert Air Industrial Park.
“The flying club is staffing the operation and we have secured the equipment needed to make it a success,” says Ron Smith, acting executive director of the Colchester Regional Development Agency. “This is an enhanced airport service for pilots who are responsible for corporate jets as well those who fly for pleasure.”
CoRDA and its partners are moving to enhance services at a cost-competitive rate for Debert Airport flyers.
“With the addition of jet fuel we’ll be marketing Debert to an entirely new audience of flyers,” Smith says. “Many of them will be corporate decision makers who are passengers, but many regional CEOs actually fly their own planes. This is an added chance to show off the runway-adjacent lands and facilities in the business park we have for sale and for lease.”
Debert Flight Centre manager Stu Fairchild says the new facilities mean Debert is now one of only nine Nova Scotia airports to offer jet fuel service.
