Mike McNaney at #TRAN: "Canada is an outlier. There have been some measures instituted and others announced this week but almost one year into the crisis (...) we are still talking about a “process” for establishing financial assistance for #airlines.
"According to @IATA, Canada has now lost approximately 85% of its connectivity, with flights significantly reduced or service eliminated across every region of the country as carriers try to preserve liquidity and some semblance of operation." #cdnpoli
"In addition, we have now begun to see foreign carriers - who have received liquidity support from their governments - taking international market share from Canadian operators. This is a direct threat to the future competitiveness of the sector" #aviation
"The objective here is not just to have the sector “survive” – its to have a competitive, thriving industry that drives jobs and investment and quality of life in every region of the country, in every community large and small." #timetotravel
