The project will boost local economic activity by generating jobs both during the construction phase and in ongoing operations. Improved helicopter readiness will strengthen emergency services and support economic sectors reliant on air transport, thereby increasing regional resilience and community safety. Specifically, the initiative is projected to create ten new jobs during construction, retain six existing positions, and introduce four additional roles for ongoing operations. This substantial job creation underscores the project's positive impact on the local economy. Furthermore, the enhanced infrastructure will improve TNH’s operational efficiency, leading to increased revenue through enhanced service capabilities and greater customer satisfaction.
