About Canada’s Airports
A Made-in-Canada Success Story
Starting in 1992, the Government of Canada transferred the operations of Canada’s National Airports Systems Airports (those with more than 200,000 passengers annually and/or serving a national, provincial or territorial capital) to private nonshare capital corporations.
Today these locally-operated airport authorities are a Canadian success story, serving passengers in every part of the country and, since 1992, reinvesting over $25 billion into capital improvement programs.
