BuildinG VAluE, sErVicE, And community<br />
The <strong>Edmonton</strong> area has seen tremendous <strong>growth</strong> in the<br />
past decade, and EIA has been growing right alongside<br />
the community we’re proud to serve. During those 10<br />
years, EIA has evolved from a small regional airport<br />
to a service hub for northwestern Canada. As Canada’s<br />
fastest-growing major airport for three years in a row,<br />
EIA is continuing its $1-billion <strong>expansion</strong> to ensure the<br />
airport can keep pace with <strong>Edmonton</strong> and northwestern<br />
Canada’s economic development.<br />
Expansion <strong>2012</strong> will do more than make EIA bigger; it<br />
will add value to the community and help local business<br />
thrive in the <strong>Edmonton</strong> region. Ours will be an airport<br />

that’s technologically advanced, passenger-friendly,<br />
efficient for airlines and a showcase for the community.<br />
The future airport technologies that have helped EIA<br />
stretch current capacity are being fully deployed in the<br />
new building. Every process and interaction is being<br />
examined with an eye to making the airport as simple<br />
to use as possible; automated systems will make it more<br />
efficient for airlines to process customers and amenities<br />
like moving sidewalks and new shops will please everyone.<br />
EIA is committed to continued development in our<br />
region, and Expansion <strong>2012</strong> will enable future <strong>growth</strong>.
