Fredericton, N.B. — Commissionaires NB & PEI are marking more than two decades of providing round-the-clock security services at the Fredericton International Airport, supporting safe operations at one of New Brunswick’s most important transportation hubs.
The Fredericton International Airport serves travellers from across the Capital Region and supports nearly 1,400 jobs through airport operations and on-site businesses. Maintaining a strong safety culture is essential, and Commissionaires play a key role in that effort.
“Safety is a shared commitment at YFC, and our partnership with Commissionaires is a significant part of that,” said Alvin Nason, Director of Operations with the Fredericton International Airport Authority. “Every team member is committed to keeping the airport safe and secure. ”
Commissionaires provide 24/7 airport security services, including patrols, access control, incident response, traffic management, and customer service support for passengers. Their work helps ensure compliance with strict security regulations while maintaining a welcoming and approachable presence throughout the terminal and airport grounds.
“Commissionaires balance excellent customer service and airport security within our highly regulated environment,” said Johanne Gallant, President and CEO of the Fredericton International Airport Authority. “They are a valued part of the YFC team, and we appreciate their consistent professionalism.”
As Canada’s only national not-for-profit security provider, Commissionaires reinvest the majority of its revenues into their workforce through wages, benefits, and training. At YFC, locally recruited and bilingual commissionaires receive comprehensive training aligned with nationally and internationally recognized standards.
“Our role goes beyond safeguarding people and property,” said Derrick Stanford, Chief Executive Officer of Commissionaires NB & PEI. “Commissionaires are ambassadors for the Fredericton International Airport, helping create a safe and positive experience for everyone who travels through YFC.”
Through ongoing collaboration, regular communication, and the use of modern security and incident management technology, the partnership between Commissionaires NB & PEI and the Fredericton International Airport Authority continues to support safe, efficient, and people-focused airport operations.
