Runways
Originally the runway was 5,000 ft (1,524 m), but it has been expanded to 7,544 ft (2,299 m) so that the airport can land larger aircraft. The extension was completed by in late 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.
Landing runway 33 in 2007
