About the Airport Authority

Who We Are

Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA), a locally controlled, non-share capital corporation, was incorporated in November of 1995.

On February 1, 2000 Halifax International Airport Authority took over the management of Halifax Stanfield International Airport, as Transport Canada relinquished its role of operator in favour of a more appropriate role as landlord and regulator. This historical event in the life of our community will help to ensure that Halifax Stanfield International Airport will continue to provide the world class service for which it has become internationally known.
