First quarter results out of the Winnipeg Airport Authority’s annual general meeting on Wednesday show a 4.08 percent rise in passenger traffic at James Richardson International Airport.

The WAA also reported consolidated revenue at $28.1 million for the first quarter, compared to $25.5 million for the same period in 2014.

“We are pleased to note the tremendous growth in passengers travelling even as capacity offered by the air carriers dropped slightly during the first quarter of 2015,” said Barry Rempel, president and CEO of WAA.

“It speaks directly to the strength of this market and the increasing requirement for people to connect with those in other centres, whether that need relates to family, friends or business.”
