Infrastructure Upgrades

The Abbotsford International Airport has received $30,000,000 for the construction of a parallel taxiway along the main runway which will double the arrival rate on Runway 07 and the departure rate on Runway 25. This funding will increase the airport's capacity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing aircraft taxi times and delays, and improve international trade by increasing the airport's capacity to handle larger aircraft, typical of international flights. The Abbotsford International Airport serves a primary market of over 1.3 million regional travelers and is one of the fastest growing and most vital economic regions in Canada.

Funding for the project is from the Building Canada Fund and Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. Funding is shared equally with 1/3 Federal, 1/3 Provincial and 1/3 Municipal, and the project project must be complete by March 31, 2011 to be eligible for full federal government funding.
