SaultAirportThe Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation (SSMADC) is proud to announce the launch of its completely redesigned website, which can be found at www.saultairport.com.

The new website has been in development since June of this year by local marketing firm 8:56.  The project was timed in coordination with other modernization projects at the airport, including a $2 million post-security passenger holding area renovation and recent SSMADC social media developments. The website will bring increased attention to the airport’s commercial and industrial land development programs, tenants, and the corporation’s unique distinction as a 100% private, not-for-profit regional airport.  Additionally, there is a page that links to Tourism Sault Ste. Marie to show out-of-town travellers what they can do while in the Sault.

Terry Bos, President and CEO of the SSMADC stated; “One of the great features on www.saultairport.com is the True Cost Trip Calculator, which allows the user to input flight prices and automatically factors in unforeseen expenses like fuel costs, hotels, parking, food, incidentals, and applies the exchange rate (if applicable).  It then outputs the true cost of travelling to and leaving from another airport in Canadian dollars.”

In addition to the True Cost Trip Calculator, the website displays flight information such as arrivals, departures, delays, and cancellations for incoming and outgoing scheduled flights.

The website will highlight special events at the airport like seasonal travel information, new destinations, general travel information, event news and pictures, and a significantly expanded section for pilots.  Visitors to the new page will also find airport statistics like passenger counts and short biographical clips to help the public get to know the Airport’s Board of Directors.  The statistics will be kept up to date monthly so that travellers can keep tabs on the 200,000 travel giveaway, where the 200,000th passenger of the year will receive free round trip tickets.
