On January 12, 2024, the Council of Atlantic Premiers wrote to the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Transport for the Government of Canada, regarding proposed changes to the Air Passenger Protection Regulations and the impact they may have on air connectivity in Atlantic Canada.

 

While Atlantic Premiers recognize the importance of respecting passenger rights, Premiers are concerned the proposed regulatory changes could mean even further increased costs for Atlantic residents as well as airlines becoming hesitant to continue, resume or provide service to the region, ultimately limiting air accessibility.

 

Premiers requested that the process for adopting these new regulations be reconsidered to allow for further consultation.
