Just a quick update on the Iqaluit airport in Nunavut.Although coming from a Winnipeg buisness point of view, the article is directly linked to the development and operational side of the upcoming expansion/overhall of the Iqaluit airport and shows the huge growth and potential of Manitoba's growing neighbor to the North, Iqaluit.

The Winnipeg Airports Authority is about to embark on the largest project outside its Winnipeg airport campus -- management of a brand new airport in Iqaluit.

The WAA is part of a consortium that won the $300-million development project -- beating out other groups that included representation from the Edmonton and Halifax airports.

The plan calls for the group, of which the WAA is a junior partner, to design, build, finance and operate the new airport in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut.

John Hawkins, the director of the airport, which is owned by the territorial government, said no real upgrade has happened since the mid-'90s. Since then, the population of the town has almost doubled, it's become the capital of Nunavut and passenger traffic at the airport has almost tripled.
