Shuttle service to arrive at Waterloo airport in September

With the number of flights in and out of Waterloo International Airport continuing to grow, Regional Council approved the vendor for shuttle service at the airport on Wednesday night.

The shuttle will provide transportation from the new parking lot, which is under construction, to the terminal building.

The new lot will add 611 new parking spaces to the 728 that are currently at the airport.

The region says the existing lot was at capacity a year ago when there were 33 weekly passenger flights to and from the airport.

In addition, council also approved a plan to add six pieces of art to the terminal expansion for up to two years.

The region says the artwork will explore themes of travel and movement. It issued a call for local artists to submit pieces last month.
