Under the investment plan, the airline is planning to lay the foundation for significant growth as the carrier continues adding flights, creating jobs and contributing to economic growth.
First phase of the work would include passenger facilities, aircraft gates and office space. The full facility, including 10 bridged aircraft gates, US and Canadian customs, and two passenger lounges will be complete by early 2010.
Over one million passengers will be using the terminal annually by 2010, with the facility supporting Porter’s growth of up to 20 aircrafts and beyond.
The new terminal includes a mix of retail, food services, duty-free, car rentals and other services. Standard complimentary Porter amenities, including business centers, lounge-style seating, beverages and WiFi will be enhanced in the new building.
Canada’s Scott Associates Architects is the design architect for the terminal. Toronto’s Figure3 is providing interior design services. The passenger’s terminal experience supports Porter’s brand promise of flying refined by selecting quality furniture, materials and finishes. The Maple Reinders Group is the lead terminal contractor.
