Halifax Stanfield International Airport to Enhance Passenger Connections with New Facility

Halifax Stanfield International Airport is set to offer faster and more efficient passenger connections with the construction of a new international connections facility.

The announcement was made recently, highlighting the importance of the airport as a transportation and trade hub for Nova Scotia, Canada, and North America. Kim Masland, Minister of Public Works, emphasized the significance of the investment, stating, “This investment will help ensure the airport can keep supporting travellers and trade as our province continues to grow.”

The new facility aims to streamline passenger connections for those arriving in Canada from other countries and connecting to domestic flights. Additionally, it will increase cargo capacity, facilitating the efficient movement of goods between Nova Scotia and international markets.

The project, estimated to cost $18 million, will see a substantial financial contribution from multiple sources. Tim Houston’s PC Government is investing $3 million, the federal government is providing $8.4 million, and the Halifax International Airport Authority is contributing $6.6 million.

This development is expected to bolster the airport’s capabilities, supporting the region’s growing needs and enhancing its role in international travel and trade.
