December 16, 2015 – Ottawa, Ontario – Transport Canada
The Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, today announced an expanded Canada-China Air Transport Agreement that allows for new air services between additional cities in both countries.
The expanded agreement with China will increase the numbers of cities Canadian and Chinese airlines can serve from 12 to 18 in the other partner’s territory. This will allow airlines to provide greater choices for travellers and help support increasing tourism and trade activity.
Reached under Canada’s Blue Sky policy, which encourages long-term, sustainable competition and the development of international air services, the expanded agreement builds on the 2005 Canada-China Air Transport Agreement, last amended in 2013.
The new rights under this expanded agreement are available for use by airlines immediately.
