The Story

The Charlottetown Airport Terminal Building Expansion and Renovation is a strategic development designed to enhance the travel experience for increasing numbers of passengers. This multi-phased project will not only modernize the terminal's appearance but also integrate cutting-edge features to support sustainability and technological advancements.

New Build and Renovation Details:

  • Modernization and Capacity: The renovation and expansion will update the airport's look while preparing for future passenger growth, with improvements aimed at both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
  • Sustainable Innovation: Plans for the new build include significant solar photovoltaic installations on the roof, showcasing the airport's commitment to green energy.
  • Architectural Features: A highlight of the new structure will be a two-storey light diffusing wall, designed to maximize natural light and enhance the terminal's ambience.
  • Future-Proofing: Provisions for accommodating electrical vehicles, both landside and airside, demonstrate a forward-thinking approach to airport operations.

Phased Project Approach:

Phase IB: This phase will see a substantial new build that adds a new baggage makeup belt, an expanded check-in hall, and additional office space on the upper level.

Phase II: The relocation of the airport authorities' main office to the new facility will free up space in the existing building, which will be transformed into a new holdroom area and washrooms.

Phase III: Further enhancements include enlarging holdrooms with additional retail options and seating, as well as reconfiguring security areas to improve the flow and efficiency of passenger screening.
