More Passengers Using Saint John Airport

The Saint John Airport recording a 2.2 per cent growth in passengers in 2010 with 60 per cent of traffic business related.

Airport President and C-E-O Bernie LeBlanc tells CHSJ News the Sunwing flights that leave 3 days a week to Mexico and Cuba are still widely popular.

LeBlanc says the airport normally loses money in the winter because it costs so much to keep the property plowed and salted.
 
The airport became a campaign issue when Liberal candidate Stephen Chase warned unless federal funding comes soon, there may not be an airport in Saint John a few years from now.
