This custom built sprayer will allow airport personnel to efficiently apply anti-icing fluid to the runway and taxiway surfaces prior to a freezing rain event or can be utilized to de-ice runway in combination with our granular chemical spreader. The airport currently is utilizing Alpine RF-11 liquid (potassium acetate) and NASI SF granular (Sodium Formate). The airport now has effective equipment and product to fight ice events.

Security Fence & Gates

July 2021 the airport completed its perimeter fencing project. This has significantly reduced wildlife from accessing airside and increased security to aircraft. In total the project cost $245,000. The airport paid for the project utilizing funds acquired from user fees and support from our local governments – the Town of Slave Lake and the MD of Lesser Slave River.  All areas of airside are now protected with a 6′ security fencing plus 3 powered vehicle gates and 2 power magnetic man gates. The power gate across airport road is connected to our backup airfield lighting generator in the event of a power failure.  Access to airside including hangar area is limited to those with access codes. Access codes can be provided by calling airport staff at 780-849-3089 or from your respective aircraft operator.
