CALGARY – The Calgary Airport Authority says it will take at least a year and a half to fix part of its domestic terminal that was hammered by hail earlier this month.
It says Concourse B will be closed while restoration work is done.
The airport authority says it doesn’t know how much the repairs will cost.
A swath of north Calgary was pummelled by hail on Aug. 5, with chunks shattering car windows and scraping siding off homes.
Chris Miles, chief operating officer of the airport authority, says golf ball-sized hail punched through the membrane of the terminal’s roof, and then heavy rain poured in.
Despite the closure of the concourse, the authority says other parts of the terminal are fine and operations shouldn’t be disrupted.
