MAY 18, CANADIAN CHAMBER LAYS OUT 3 PRIORITIES TO HELP AIR TRAVEL AND AIRPORTS GROW

Robin Guy, the Canadian Chamber spoke to the devastating impacts of COVID on the travel and tourism sector and laid out three priority areas for the government to address to help the sector recover from COVID and return to growth. The priorities are to review and remove legacy COVID-era regulations that are no longer necessary; investing in airport infrastructure and technology; and developing an overall vision to improve passenger experiences. 

Prior to the pandemic, the impact of Canada’s airports on a national scale is major for economic development of communities and regions across Canada. In 2016, Canadian airports directly contributed $48 billion in economic output, $19 billion in GDP, 194,000 jobs, and $13 billion in wages. Airports’ economic contributions are impressive, but even more impressive is their importance in supporting and enhancing opportunities for all Canadians and Canadian businesses.
