AIRPORT FUTURE DISCUSSED

Viking town council agreed to keep landing controls at the Viking airport on a permanent dusk to dawn setting until a meeting among all those with a vested interest in the airport can be arranged and future plans for the airport can be discussed in detail.

The night landing controls have not been operational for a number of months.

Viking’s Director of Maintenance Kevin O’Neill attended the regular meeting of town council Monday, June 17 and told council that he has been talking to various suppliers of similar systems and has learned that the night light control panel at the Viking airport is obsolete, making the needed parts unavailable.
