Airport Turned Down for Federal Funding

It's proving to be a challenge to find a source of funding for proposed improvements to the Saint John Airport. Bernie Leblanc, President and CEO of Saint John Airport Inc., says they recently learned they are not eligible for the Building Canada Fund because they are located on government-owned land.But, Leblanc says there is a glimmer of hope. Transport Canada has suggested the Atlantic Gateway Funding might fit for this project.

The funding will be used for a project which includes expanding and relocating the parking lot and the expansion of the terminal building because of increased traffic at the airport.
