The Saint John Airport Authority will be announcing a new direct air service to Quebec City and Newfoundland tomorrow.
The airport is always on the lookout to generate new revenue. Airport President and C-E-O Bernie Leblanc warns if it depends only on passengers, this can be risky given the volatility of the market.
Leblanc tells CHSJ News there are 400 acres of land around the airport, if developed, could generate alot of new revenue and help guarantee long term sustainability.
He says the airport also keeps in regular touch with Porter Airlines about establishing another air service from Saint John to Toronto.
