Since transfer from Transport Canada in 2001, the Fredericton International Airport Authority Inc. has accomplished much to bring the Fredericton International Airport where it is today – a facility capable of handling a greater variety of business, larger aircraft, more passengers, military movement, and so much more.

With millions of dollars in investments in your airport since privatizing, the FIAA has extended the main runway to 8010 feet, built an 8200 square foot multi-purpose pavilion, renovated the departures lounge and restaurant area, reconfigured the parking lot and traffic flow, and added new flights as well as bringing WestJet to Fredericton.

In addition to completing the above projects, the Fredericton International Airport also performed obstruction clearance procedures, designed ICAO Type A drawings, etc. to receive its international designation! Receiving this status was a major accomplishment and allows for more opportunities through greater credibility.

The Fredericton International Airport is a key component for economic development, providing direct air service to major hubs and creating numerous jobs through its expanding business. There are over 200 people employed directly and a number of people employed indirectly through the Fredericton International Airport and the number keeps growing with the addition of a second air carrier (WestJet) and ground handler, establishment of a new flight school, and the development of the Aerospace and Defence Park adjacent to the airport.
