Sources said the discussion focused on alternative ownership models, private investment, long-term concessions, and opening those airports to investors (including foreign ones). Some MPs on the call described it as being framed as a “fait accompli” and voiced alarm. The government had already flagged airport reforms and possible privatization in the 2025 budget and the spring economic update.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the government would seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate those four airports while retaining ownership of the land and underlying assets. Proceeds are slated to be reinvested in other infrastructure, including regional airports.
