What they're lobbying on (8)
  • Traveller and cargo digitization: Urging a firm government commitment to digitize traveller and cargo processing, including digital identity verification and digital customs, by implementing the pathways developed through the CBSA-led Traveller Modernization Initiative.
  • Crown rent reform: Working with government on commitments to reform the federal airport Crown rent formula.
  • Airport funding programs, ACAP and a new growth and resilience program: Seeking the establishment of a new Small and Medium Airports Growth and Resilience program for economic and growth infrastructure, and recapitalization of the underfunded Airports Capital Assistance Program to meet safety, security, rehabilitation and economic development needs at airports that fall outside current program eligibility.
  • Engagement as part of the federal pre-budget consultation process regarding transport priorities, challenges and recommendation for consideration in the 2026 budget
  • Seeking federal budget investments to sustain and grow Canada’s national airport system as strategic economic and dual-use infrastructure. This includes securing new funding and eligibility for infrastructure and economic growth projects at small and mid-size airports facing an unsupported $19 Billion investment gap over 10 years; increasing ACAP funding to meet the true need for safety and security projects at small and northern airports and advancing ground lease extensions and Crown rent reform
  • Advocating a policy modernization and red-tape-reduction agenda for the airport system. These include: digitization of traveller and cargo processing across federal agencies along with improved back-end government systems needed to deliver it; assessment of aviation regulation through a competitiveness, operational and regional resilience lens; modernized rules governing airport land use and commercial flexibility that keep fees low; and, improved zoning and resolution processes for airspace protection from incompatible development.
  • Advancing recognition of Canada's airports as core trade-enabling infrastructure within one Canadian economy: including more integration of aviation into trade corridor, supply chain and economic development strategies and investments supporting stronger multimodal and domestic air network connectivity and to diversify exports, open new markets, and grow business travel, tourism and services trade
  • Facilitating engagement between public office holders to discuss matters affecting Canada's airport system, including federal funding, legislation, regulations and policy initiatives
