Study of the Viability of Smaller Airports in Canada

In late 2001 the provincial government departments responsible for transportation commissioned a study of issues which are affecting the viability of smaller airports in Canada. The consulting firm of Sypher:Mueller International Inc. was retained for this initiative.

The investigation was based upon a "case study" approach, with in depth review and analysis of the conditions, operations and business plans of 26 smaller airports across Canada. Perspectives of key stakeholder groups (government agencies, airlines, and airport users) were also gathered as part of the investigation.
