What is included in project?

1) Repaving the runway

2) New runway lights and other safety-related systems

3) New combined services building (CSB)

Why does Iqaluit need a new airport?

• Runway has reached end of life-cycle

• Terminal can no longer handle volume of traffic

• Increasingly difficult to meet safety standards

• Combined Services Building too small

Statistics

• One of the largest private sector employers

• More than 20,000 aircraft movements in 2012

• 30 % of all aircraft activity in Nunavut

• Current passenger numbers exceed 140,000

• More than 40 % of all Nunavut travelers get on or off planes in Iqaluit

Why a Public Private Partnership?

• Timely Delivery

• Risk Transfer

• Innovation

• Job Creation

P3 projects come in on time, on budget, and are performance-based long-term contracts that make the best use of taxpayer dollars.

Inuit Involvement

• An alternative to the NNI Policy has been carefully developed

• Worked with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) and larger Inuit firms

• Mandatory minimum requirements for Inuit firms and Inuit labour

• Strong emphasis on Inuit training

After the Contract Ends
