Car Hire in Thompson Airport - Mini guide to Thompson Airport

You haven't lived until you've flown into a northern Canadian airport, after dark, during the winter months. Thompson airport, 6 miles northeast of Thompson, Manitoba is no exception. While Thompson is the third busiest airport in the province, it is a vital link between the northern parts of the province, and the rest of the country. Once used to transport nickel and other vital minerals out of the wild northern reaches of the province, the airport now does the majority of its business through two regional airlines, Calm Air and Perimeter Aviation. Both airlines serve primarily the Thompson-Winnipeg route, however it's important to note that they handle cargo services, as well.

The Thompson Regional Airport does have a few amenities, however. You can park your plane there, depending on size, for as little as 2 dollars a day. If you're just flying through, they offer refueling as well. There is a landing fee of $11.70. Of course, if you leave your plane on the tarmac, you can have electricity delivered to your plane for $4.96 per day. This becomes very convenient if you happen to need a place to stay while you're staying overnight at the Thompson Airport, since the Airport itself has no facilities to support overnight guests.

The terminal is available, for an additional fee. You can sample the food at the restaurant, typically reserved for passengers, or of course use the restrooms, and whatever else you need. Should you need to take a trip into town, you can do so. If you are holidaying in Thompson, the best way to get around is to rent a car. Car hire is a cheap and convenient option.
