Yorkton Regional Airport Announces Naming Rights for New Terminal
Yorkton, Saskatchewan – September 11, 2025
The Yorkton Regional Airport is proud to announce the official naming of its terminal building as the Popowich Terminal. This milestone reflects the Airport’s commitment to revitalization and its ongoing role as an important gateway for residents, visitors, and the business community.
Earlier this year, the Airport issued an open call for naming rights. Local businessman Mike Popowich secured the opportunity, building on his family’s deep roots in Yorkton and aviation. Their long-standing involvement has helped foster activity at the Airport and support the wider community. The upgraded terminal is part of a broader initiative to improve services, expand facilities, and strengthen Yorkton’s role in regional transportation and economic development.
"With Yorkton Regional Airport Popowich Terminal, we’re not only building a modern facility — we’re building for the future of our city,” said Yorkton Mayor Aaron Kienle. “This investment strengthens our infrastructure, supports our economy, and connects people to Yorkton for years to come."
Mike Popowich expressed pride in the recognition:
“We are excited for the new terminal building. It will modernize the location, benefit the community, and support increased usage far into the future. We are very happy to be able to make a long-term commitment to contribute to this important project and look forward to being part of its success.”
A formal unveiling of the Popowich Terminal signage will take place at an open house on October 2 starting at 11:30am, with photo opportunities, terminal tours, refreshments, and more.
The Yorkton Regional Airport invites residents, businesses, and partners to join in celebrating this achievement, which highlights both the region’s rich aviation history and its bright future.
