The cash-strapped Gander town council is suing a numbered company that operated a restaurant, bar, and duty-free store at the airport for more than $771,000 in unpaid taxes. That company, operating under the name Weston's, ran the concessions at Gander International Airport for a decade until losing the contract last year. The company added it "had previously disputed the calculation of certain municipal taxes owing to the Town of Gander prior to the company permanently ceasing operations in 2019." A company that operated concessions at Gander International Airport for a decade is facing legal action from the town over alleged non-payment of municipal taxes. The statement of claim advises that the bar/restaurant and duty-free store were subject to five different municipal tax obligations over the decade from 2009 to 2019.
