The South Cariboo Regional Airport at 108 Mile Ranch is slated for some upgrades this year.
The Cariboo Regional District owns the airport, and its provisional 2013 budget includes a plan to upgrade and possibly relocate its on-site fuel facility.
Plans for the fuel pumps including installing modern, digital flow meters and a self-serve system, which would accurately track fuel transactions and potentially increase after-hours sales.
The existing pump location is also not conducive to larger or rotary wing aircraft, and is directly in the centre of airport operations that could be better put to other uses, such as aircraft parking or structures.
Another plan will see the plane parking tie-down area resurfaced with gravel crush, to reduce issues with mud in wet weather.
