What is included in project?
1) Repaving the runway
2) New runway lights and other safety-related systems
3) New combined services building (CSB)

Why does Iqaluit need a new airport?
• Runway has reached end of life-cycle
• Terminal can no longer handle volume of traffic
• Increasingly difficult to meet safety standards
• Combined Services Building too small
Statistics
• One of the largest private sector employers
• More than 20,000 aircraft movements in 2012
• 30 % of all aircraft activity in Nunavut
• Current passenger numbers exceed 140,000
• More than 40 % of all Nunavut travelers get on or off planes in Iqaluit
Why a Public Private Partnership?
• Timely Delivery
• Risk Transfer
• Innovation
• Job Creation
P3 projects come in on time, on budget, and are performance-based long-term contracts that make the best use of taxpayer dollars.
Inuit Involvement
• An alternative to the NNI Policy has been carefully developed
• Worked with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) and larger Inuit firms
• Mandatory minimum requirements for Inuit firms and Inuit labour
• Strong emphasis on Inuit training
After the Contract Ends
• Long lasting infrastructure
• Hand-back conditions
• 10-years of functionality
