The Ottawa International Airport Authority was delighted to hear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledge his support for Stage 2 LRT, including the airport link, this morning.

“The Prime Minister validated the need for a transit system that includes the airport,” said Mark Laroche, President and CEO of the Ottawa International Airport Authority. “With the third and final funding piece in place, we can now build on the great work we have already completed with our partners at the City of Ottawa towards a world class transportation system to serve our growing and vital city and region.”
