Airport Terminal Fees

At the Rainbow lake Airport there is deemed to be use of the air terminal building where any passenger or member of the crew disembarks from an aircraft that has landed at the airport and enters the air terminal building or any passenger or member of the crew leaves the terminal building and embarks onto an aircraft that has landed.

Based on the Rainbow Lake Airport Safety Management System, at no time are passengers allowed to disembark an aircraft unless they are immediately escorted to the airport terminal building. Only aircraft personnel have the access code for entry into the terminal building.

As all pilots know, it is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that the aircraft’s passengers go directly from the aircraft to the terminal. Please ensure your passengers know the correct entry point into the terminal building.
