Petition to the Government of Canada
- The Allan J MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport has been an essential piece of regional infrastructure for Cape Breton and the Strait Area since 1973;
- The Allan J MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport provides 24 hours a day, 365 days a year services for important local services like EHS LifeFlight, the Department of Lands and Forestry, and the Canadian Coast Guard;
- The operators of the Allan J MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport, Celtic Air Services, have invested over $2 million in the airport and surrounding communities since 2017, overseen a steady increase in traffic at the airport and promoted Cape Breton’s world-class tourist destinations across North America; and
- The creation of a new airport in Western Cape Breton, using federal government funds would put all operations at the Allan J MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport at risk of closing.
