Charlottetown Airport Master Plan
What is a Master Plan?
A Master Plan is a roadmap for the long-term development of infrastructure and facilities to meet the aviation needs of the community over the next 20 years and beyond. Under the Ground Lease agreement with Transport Canada, the Master Plan must be updated every 10 years.
The Master Plan reviews forecasts, community and business needs, airline business models and the economic profile of the province to develop a long-term concept that will be sustainable, flexible and customer-centric mannered.
