Canada Funds Halifax Airport for Global Connectivity Boost

Transport Canada

The Government of Canada is making sure communities have the infrastructure they need to grow, build more homes, and keep connected across our country.

Today, the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, Sean Fraser, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, Pablo Rodriguez, announced a new investment of up to $8.3 million for a project at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, to increase the number of international and domestic passenger flights.

The project consists of building a new international connections facility at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. This will improve the connections process, making it faster and easier for passengers arriving in Canada from international flights as well as those connecting to other domestic destinations. This will also result in additional cargo hold capacity, to increase the movement of goods between Nova Scotia and international markets.

Improving passenger connectivity, facilitating trade, while making economic and environmental improvements, contributes to building vibrant communities in Atlantic Canada, with the infrastructure they need to grow.
