This is great news for Deer Lake.

One thing I don't understand though is why there is also an airport in Stephenville? I know the history of the American Base being situated there, but is there really a need for a second airport just an hour away?

No doubt the airport provides jobs to the town, but looking at the bigger regional picture wouldn't it make more sense to have the one in Deer Lake and make that a larger hub? Federal and Provincial funding would be better served going into one rather than two competing airports within 100km of each other.
