The development is being done by Aecon Group. Frank Ross, Aecon’s executive director, infrastructure, said: “As we get closer to the completion of the new passenger terminal building, our goal of hiring as many Bermudian companies as possible remains the same.

“We are pleased to continually award Bermudian companies with subcontracts to work alongside our overseas experts.”
