Transport Canada
Canadians across the country need convenient options to travel. Expanding Canada's air transport agreements allows airlines to provide travellers and shippers with more flights to travel the world and grow their businesses.
Today, the Minister of Transport, Pablo Rodriguez, announced a new Canada-Argentina Air Transport Agreement, providing additional benefits for Canadian travellers and the air industry.
The new agreement will replace the existing Canada-Argentina Air Transport Agreement, negotiated in 1979.
The new agreement will include:
- No limits on the number of:
- Canadian or Argentinian airlines that can serve the market;
- Passenger and/or cargo flights those airlines can operate;
- The cities that can be served in Canada and Argentina;
- More flexibility for Canadian and Argentinian airlines to make connections in other countries, if they choose, to pick up and discharge passengers and/or cargo en route to their final destination in Canada or Argentina;
- Fully open code-sharing rights, which will allow air carriers to expand their network offerings through marketing cooperation with other airlines, including airlines from other countries;
- A modern pricing regime; and
- Industry-standard safety, security and doing-business provisions.
Airlines can offer increased services due to this expanded agreement immediately.
