In 1959, the strip was extended to Template:Convert and paved in 1963. Eastern Provincial Airways began jet service using Boeing 737-200 aircraft in July 1969. Construction of a new terminal started in 1990 and was completed the following year. Deer Lake Regional Airport's Template:Convert runway is capable of handling daily service of Beechcraft 1900, Bombardier Dash 8, Bombardier CRJ200, Airbus A319, Airbus A321, and Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft.[1]
