The Allan J. MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport is getting a new $1-million hangar and de-icing pad to expand winter service, thanks to an investment in Celtic Air Services by EverWind Fuels.
The company that operates the Town of Port Hawkesbury's airport is in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia over an ownership dispute, but Mayor Brenda Chisholm-Beaton says she doesn't have any immediate concerns about the airport lease or operations.

The operator of Port Hawkesbury’s airport says there are real opportunities following repeated service reductions by the major players.
David Morgan, the president of Celtic Air Services which operates the Allan J. MacEachen Port Hawkesbury Airport, says the air industry is changing, and airports have a new role to play.
Morgan tells The Hawk that includes working will smaller players to support the development of regional carriers.
“I think that there’s a great opportunity right now for a right-sized approach to providing commuter service within the Atlantic provinces.”
Morgan says Celtic Air isn’t in the position to take the lead on that enterprise- they’re too small- but they still have a role to play.
