Reaction today from Ottawa’s announcement last week that airline security fees have increased to just under nine dollars each way depending on where your going. That is on top of the current security charges that can reach as high as $17 dollars each way. President of the Saint John Airport Bernie Leblanc tells CHSJ News, from the airport’s perspective, it could be done differently through government funding or collect it from individual travellers.
The new fees still require parliamentary approval with MP’s returning to Ottawa on Wednesday.
