Congratulations to the JA Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport

I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to the JA McCurdy Sydney Airport on this significant enhancement of services. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Myles Tuttle, this type of transformational change will have major impact on the Cape Breton region, but also globally as we welcome the world here to our beautiful Island destination. This is the type of thinking, and action, needed here in Cape Breton. 

This new service will help YQY (Sydney Airport) and CBU better serve our community, together. It will not only enhance the key routes used by our students, our employees and the broader community but will also strengthen our community as a whole. The Cape Breton region is the fastest-growing community in Nova Scotia and this enhanced service with more direct flights to Halifax will help the region better meet the needs of its people. 

I commend Mr. Tuttle, and his team, for the work that went into making this a reality. 

We at Cape Breton University applaud your efforts and thank you for recognizing that enhanced aviation services and more flight options are not merely a desire, but a necessity in a thriving community.
