Joey Suri, a lawyer with Gowling WLG who specializes in airport infrastructure, breaks down Ottawa’s plan to open Canada’s four largest airports to private investment through so-called “long-term concessions.” He explains why airports appeal to pension funds, how the proposed model differs from simply selling public assets, and what Canada can learn from Australia’s experience.
