The new terminal at Winnipeg James A. Richardson International Airport is now slated to open on Oct. 30, said officials.

It had been previously hoped the new terminal would be ready in 2010, but last fall the contractor discovered problems with underground piping, which pushed back the completion date.

When fully completed, the new terminal will be able to handle an extra one million passengers each year, said airport officials.
