The new mission, to be self-sufficient, led the agency to pursue opportunities to increase its revenues, including expansion of the island airport, and the building of a cruise ship terminal. The agency built a working relationship with startup airline Porter Airlines and, despite the 2003 cancelling of a permanent bridge to the airport, has been successful in increasing air traffic at the airport to the point where it turned a profit in 2008. It has since built a pedestrian tunnel to the airport.
