This is Canadian Airports Safety Week and airports across the country are sharing best practices, hosting sessions and events to continue to foster a culture of safety. It's not just about following regulations; it's about creating a mindset where everyone feels empowered to identify and address potential hazards to people, to the environment, and to the safe operations within the airport ecosystem. Airports continue to prioritize safety in all aspects of operations, and by collaborating with partners and stakeholders, we can make a significant difference and ensure the well-being of our passengers, employees, and communities. #CASW #Airports #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture

Another milestone in drone technology! Yesterday, Drone Delivery Canada's Canary took flight on a new route from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to the Akamihk Medical Clinic in Montana First Nation. This innovative partnership is a game-changer, especially for rural and remote communities. Drones can revolutionize supply chains, offering efficient and sustainable solutions. By connecting communities and ensuring timely delivery of essential goods, we're opening up new possibilities. It's a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation.

I'm thrilled to share that CATSA / ACSTA has successfully launched its new CT technology at YVR (Vancouver Airport Authority). This upgraded technology will significantly enhance airport security screening while providing a more streamlined experience for passengers. By allowing travellers to keep liquids, aerosols, gels, and larger electronics in their carry-on bags, this technology will make the security process more efficient and convenient. This is a major step forward in our commitment to delivering world-class aviation security while improving the passenger experience. Hats off to the CATSA team and the Vancouver International Airport team for your collaboration on this pilot project. I'm excited to see this technology continue to roll out across Canada in the coming years.

During this week's Airports Council International - North America Annual Conference, Canada's airports were pleased to participate in discussions on innovation, decarbonization and building the aviation workforce of the future. *** Au cours de la conférence annuelle nord-américaine de Airports Council International - North America qui s'est tenue cette semaine, les aéroports du Canada ont eu le plaisir de participer à des discussions sur l'innovation, la décarbonisation et la formation de la main-d'œuvre du secteur de l'aviation de l'avenir.

Our airports are already run like businesses. They’re private corporations without the sky-high fees typically seen at airports with for-profit ownership. The Canadian model has been an infrastructure success story and, as we look to the future, we need to evolve the right way so air travel remains accessible and affordable for Canadians.

While airports in major cities are seeing air service at or above 2019 levels, many smaller regional airports are experiencing the very opposite. Many factors contribute to this decline in air service, resulting in many remote communities being disconnected from the rest of the country - a disadvantage both socially and economically for these Canadians.  #RegionalConnectivity Alors que les aéroports des grandes villes voient leurs services aériens atteindre ou dépasser les niveaux de 2019, de nombreux petits aéroports régionaux font face à une situation tout à fait opposée. De nombreux facteurs contribuent à ce déclin du service aérien, ce qui fait que de nombreuses communautés éloignées sont déconnectées du reste du pays - un désavantage à la fois social et économique pour ces Canadiennes et Canadiens.  #ConnectivitéRégionale 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gS7asA56
