Construction of New Airport Terminals, Runways, Taxiways, and Hangars Fuels the North America Airport Infrastructure Market
The rising global commercial aircraft fleet is one of the major factors generating the demand for new flights, terminals, runways, and hangars across different airports to cater to the growing passenger traffic worldwide. This also boosts the investments from airport authorities to upgrade their respective airport premises to cater to a larger number of aircraft, which also improves the overall airport's operational efficiency. This is also backed up by the introduction of low-cost airlines that have supported air passenger traffic worldwide.In March 2023, the Canadian Kelowna City Council announced approval for funding of US$ 90 million for the expansion project of the Kelowna Airport terminal. Several government authorities of different countries have also been planning to construct new airports across their respective countries to enhance the flow of international cargo trade and the air travel industry. For instance, in the US, six new airports are currently under construction.
Thus, the construction of new airport terminals, runways, taxiways, and hangars contributes to the growth of the airport infrastructure market across the region.
