Halifax Stanfield International Airport announced it will soon offer faster and more efficient passenger connections with a new international connections facility.
“Halifax Stanfield International Airport is an important transportation and trade hub for Nova Scotia, Canada and North America,” said Kim Masland, Minister of Public Works. “This investment will help ensure the airport can keep supporting travellers and trade as our province continues to grow.”
The new facility will make passenger connections faster and easier for people arriving in Canada from other countries and connecting to domestic flights. It will also increase cargo capacity, expanding the efficient movement of goods between Nova Scotia and international markets.
The Province is contributing $3 million to the project, which will cost about $18 million, with the federal government contributing $8.4 million and the Halifax International Airport Authority $6.6 million.
“We are grateful for the financial support we received from the Government of Nova Scotia to help build our new international connections facility. This expanded facility will help us attract more international air services to Halifax, which will increase our overall cargo capacity, enhance our global connectivity and accelerate regional economic growth. Together, we are finding innovative ways to ensure the safe, secure and efficient movement of people and goods,” said Joyce Carter, President and CEO, Halifax International Airport Authority.
The facility is scheduled to open in 2025.
