Toronto, Ontario – April 9, 2024: Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) (“Aecon”) was pleased to join representatives from the Government of Anguilla, Avia NG, and local partner Kelly Construction to celebrate the groundbreaking milestone for the Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport Redevelopment Program Package 3 project in Anguilla.
The ceremony marked the start of construction on the island’s new 4,650 m2 airport terminal building, along with airside and landside works. Aecon has been awarded a US$48 million contract by the Anguilla Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, Utilities, Housing and Tourism to deliver the project over a two-year construction schedule.
“We are pleased to bring our global airport redevelopment experience, extensive heavy civil expertise, and strong model for building and positioning airports for world-class outcomes,” said Jean-Louis Servranckx, President and CEO, Aecon. “This contract award aligns with our focus on selectively adding to our portfolio of international projects.”
“We look forward to working with our client and local partner to improve capacity, amenities, resiliency and passenger experience while creating local economic opportunities and community benefits,” said Marty Harris, Senior Vice President and Executive Lead, Civil East, Aecon.
Aecon’s balanced roster of international projects in the surrounding region also includes advancing a collaborative transition phase to redevelop the Cyril E. King Airport and the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in the U.S. Virgin Islands as part of an Aecon-led consortium, with an equity interest in the project’s concession. Additionally, Aecon is modernizing the Kingstown Port in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Building on its success redeveloping the Quito International Airport in Ecuador, Aecon also redeveloped the L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda and remains the controlling shareholder of the concessionaire responsible for ongoing operations and maintenance. In the U.S., Aecon is steadily expanding its operations across priority markets with a strategic focus on projects linked to the energy transition.
