A $1-million funding grant from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp. (NOHFC) will facilitate upgrades and expansion to the terminal building at the Sault Ste. Marie airport to accommodate more passengers and a greater volume of flights.
“The Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation continues to enhance services being offered at the airport,” corporation chair Jerry Dolcetti said in a news release. “Funding from the province's NOHFC for terminal renovations will allow more passengers to be processed and help create more counter space for Porter Airlines as well as charters to Cuba and the Dominican Republic during the winter months.”
The funding announcement follows an earlier $1-million grant to expand a hangar that will allow J.D. Aero Technical Inc. to expand its current operations for aircraft maintenance, repairs and overhaul for commercial airline companies such as Porter Airlines and Air Canada Jazz.
