Airport Improvement Fee (AIF)

The Ottawa International Airport Authority has been collecting an Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) since September 1, 1999. The $35 fee for each enplaned passenger, which is collected on the Authority’s behalf by the airlines, is used to pay for major infrastructure projects. 

The intent is to reduce the AIF when the associated capital projects and resulting debt are sufficiently paid down.
