YYC begins to dismantle old control tower

The dismantling of the former air traffic control tower at YYC has begun.

The tower, which was in service for more than a quarter of century, is being taken down using a state-of-the-art robot.

At nearly 50-metres tall, it supported a 414 square-foot cab, where thousands of successful arrivals and departures to YYC were managed until the new control tower went into service in May 2013.

The dismantling is scheduled for completion by the end of October.
