The Halifax International Airport Authority has taken steps to ensure that gasoline would be available on airport grounds after it was informed that a Petro-Canada outlet would close this week.
Irving Oil will install a temporary station on Goudey Drive near where the closing facility is located. The site will offer three grades of gasoline along with a convenience store, a commercial card program, pay-at-the-pump technology and all-day operations.
“The authority’s objective is to ensure uninterrupted, on-site availability of gasoline for our thousands of daily passengers and visitors, taxi and limousine operators, as well as for our on-site rental car operators,” says Joyce Carter, CEO of the authority, which operates Halifax Stanfield International (YHZ).
The HIAA will simultaneously begin a search for a long-term, permanent arrangement with a gas station and convenience store operator, as well.
