Sustained double-digit passenger growth at Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is driving the need to expand the airport terminal building, parking facilities, and other infrastructure much faster than expected.

We expected to reach 5.5 million passengers, the trigger point for expansion by 2015; however, EIA will serve more than six million passengers in 2007 – accelerating the need to expand.1 G( D4 J8 c7 f# |+ c
