Airport Master Plan
The Osoyoos Airport Development Society (OADS) has been actively involved with improving the airport. They have applied and were successful in obtaining funding to lengthen the runway, add tie downs, install a perimeter fence, and develop the Airport Master Plan and Financial Analysis. The plan includes a financial analysis which illustrates how future investments on the airport lands could be done in a manner that does not negatively impact the existing financial state of the property.
