A NEW AERODROME ON THE NORTH SHORE

Development work on the former site of Mascouche Airport has begun. CSK3 airport will become a commercial and industrial area.                                 Photo: Jean-Pierre Bonin

An out-of-court agreement was entered into between the city of Mascouche and the Mascouche Airport Corporation and Aérodrome Les Moulins in the relocation litigation at Mascouche Airport.  This agreement provides, among other things, for the payment of $ 3.1 million for the development of a new aerodrome outside the boundaries of the MRC.

Proponents of the project should be able to publicize the chosen site for the development of this new aerodrome in a short time. The project will then be subject to public consultation as required by Transport Canada's new regulations. With a favorable conclusion of this consultation, the work could begin in early autumn 2019. To be continued!

FERRY OF A CESSNA 206 IN MARTINIQUE

During his recent vacation in Martinique, Gilles Lapierre had the chance to witness the arrival of the first seaplane of Caribbean Hydravion, a new company created to organize tourist flights in the Caribbean. The aircraft, an amphibious Cessna 206, was delivered by Alain Priem, of Hydravion Aventure, accompanied by Christophe Papandreou, another member of Aviateurs.Québec. Christophe took many photos during the flight between St-Étienne-des-Grès, Qc and the Village of Pottery, Martinique. To view his album, click HERE

If commercial seaplane pilots from Quebec want to apply for a mission in Martinique, including initially piloting the 206, and eventually obtaining the French certification to train local pilots, they can contact Alain Priem pilote@hydravion.ca for more info. "
