This expansion will increase the size and functionality of key terminal areas, including the passenger hold room, check-in counters, pre-board screening, concessions and baggage make-up area. Last year, AVIA NG Airport Consultants completed a design and plan recommending the terminal be expanded by over 2000m².  The Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF) is the second busiest airport in the province. In 2023, the airport contributed $76 million in output, $42 million in GDP, 320 jobs, and $7.6 million in taxes to the provincial economy.
