PCL Construction helps airport operators modernize infrastructure while maintaining operations, improving the travel experience and preparing for future growth.

In 2025, global aviation saw record demand across both passenger and cargo markets, reinforcing a strong rebound in air travel. Worldwide passenger demand grew 5.3% year-over-year in 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

Canadian air travel saw similar growth, recording a 5.4% increase in domestic travel from the previous year and a 6% growth in international travel.

The numbers underscore a new reality for airport operators: passenger volumes are increasing, but travel patterns are evolving. 

To keep pace and plan for long-term growth, airports must scale infrastructure, optimize passenger flow and upgrade airside operations. As a trusted aviation partner, PCL Construction has delivered more than 500 aviation projects across North America, including ongoing work at airports across Canada that supports phased, long-term growth for airport authorities.
