In 1999, the Government of Canada transferred control and operation of the airport to Saint John Airport Inc., a self-funding, non-share, not-for-profit airport authority. The Airport has many stakeholders, including local communities served, air carriers, passengers and local businesses. In accordance with normal corporate governance best practices, airports are managed by a board of directors who provide appropriate oversight of the management team. Individuals who are appointed to the Airport's board of directors possess a broad range of skills, business experience and expertise. Aviation expertise is but one important skill set, however, others include engineering, legal, marketing and financial accounting.
