Major works for Vancouver airport

On Wednesday, Vancouver airport unveiled a vast, ten-year, $1.8 billion renovation plan.

The renovation programme announced on 25 January by the Vancouver Airport Authority will involve a contribution from passengers, in the form of an additional surcharge of $5 for flights outside the province. The 10-year plan will focus in particular on runway safety, but also on baggage transport and improving movement within the airport by installing conveyor belts.
