Where does my AssistAnt greeter meet me upon arrival at Halifax Stanfield (YHZ)? +

Your greeter will stand at the jet bridge exit door immediately as you step off the plane, holding a digital placard with your name or company logo. For remote or ground-loading gates, they will meet you at the terminal entrance where you debark the shuttle.

Is the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge open at YHZ in 2026? +

No. The Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at Halifax Stanfield closed in October 2025 for a massive, multi-million-dollar renovation and expansion. It will remain completely closed throughout the 2026 travel season, with a scheduled reopening in early 2027.

Can AssistAnt fast-track my security screening process at Halifax Airport? +

Yes. Our greeters guide eligible passengers through the CATSA Verified Traveller lanes and priority lanes at the main security checkpoints, allowing you to bypass standard lines during peak travel hours.

What is the benefit of the new CT 3D X-ray security technology at YHZ in 2026? +

On terminal security lines equipped with the new CT scanners, you do not need to remove large electronic devices, laptops, or small 100ml liquids from your carry-on luggage, drastically accelerating the physical screening process.

Where do I meet my departure greeter if I have heavy baggage? +

We arrange for dedicated airport luggage porters to meet you alongside your greeter curbside at Departures Level 2, Entrance 2. They will handle all your luggage and escort you directly to the airline priority check-in desk.

What private jet FBO facilities are available at YHZ, and can vehicles meet me on the tarmac? +

YHZ features world-class private jet terminals, including Gateway Facilities and Execaire Aviation (Shell Aerocentre). Yes, direct tarmac-to-vehicle transfers are active, allowing your private chauffeur to pick you up directly at the aircraft steps.

How far is Halifax Stanfield International Airport from downtown Halifax? +

YHZ is located approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of downtown Halifax. By private chauffeured vehicle, the transfer typically takes between 30 to 40 minutes depending on local traffic.

Is there a dedicated U.S. Transborder pre-clearance facility at YHZ? +

Yes, YHZ features an integrated U.S. Border Preclearance facility on the upper level of the terminal. This allows passengers flying to the United States to clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before departing, arriving in the U.S. as domestic passengers.

What local dining options are recommended in the terminal during the Maple Leaf Lounge closure? +

Airside, passengers can enjoy high-quality regional dining at the newly updated LaBelleville Bistro or the Altitude Gastropub. Your AssistAnt greeter can coordinate table reservations or quick takeaway options on your behalf.

Does YHZ support real-time digital navigation for passengers? +

Yes, in 2026 the airport utilizes the ViaDirect digital wayfinding platform. You can access live 3D terminal maps, real-time geolocated gate guidance, and up-to-the-minute flight updates on interactive terminal kiosks or via QR codes on your smartphone.
