Winnipeg Airports Authority (WAA) has unveiled a new vision and mission along with refreshed values and strategic priorities.

WAA shared the new direction during its annual public meeting at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, as well as providing details of the organisation’s new five-year strategic plan. To help produce this all-encompassing corporate strategy, WAA conducted a detailed consultation process with a wide range of community groups throughout last year. The learnings gained from this process were used to structure WAA’s goals, initiatives and targets up to 2027.

“As the world continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic, we have a tremendous opportunity to come together to define where we're heading as an organisation,” said WAA president and CEO Nick Hays. “However, we can’t accomplish it alone. It will take partnerships and close collaboration with others to help us deliver on our mission for the benefit of the community. Only by working together will we truly all succeed.”

Vision: Where bold journeys take flight
Rooted in the history of Winnipeg and Manitoba as a meeting place and one of bold journeys while focusing on the path and aspirations ahead, this vision reflects WAA’s aspiration for a can-do, open and collaborative culture that pursues and enables collective success for all the communities served by the authority.

Mission: Connecting communities and partnering to build a sustainable future
This mission recognises the critical importance of connectivity in making Winnipeg and Manitoba an even better place to live, work, and invest, and WAA’s role in enabling this, in partnership with so many others, to build a bright future for all.

Values: Safety, respect, teamwork, inclusion and excellence
WAA’s values set the organisational conditions and environment to pursue its vision and enable it to carry out its mission.

The authority also outlined its strategic priorities, including people and culture, financial strength, air transportation and logistics, customers and community, operational excellence, digitalisation, and the environment.
