Executive Briefing

"Air Cargo Issues - a Discussion Paper"   ( PDF File, 1.85MB) was commissioned by the Canadian Airports Council to stimulate discussion among Canada's air cargo stakeholders, including government, airports, airlines, shippers, and supply chain participants.

The objective was that through discussion of issues, a general consensus would develop on issues that would lead to changes that in turn would advance the air cargo industry.

The paper outlines the industry trends affecting air cargo transportation in Canada, the air policy issues constraining Canada's transborder and international air cargo operations, the facilitation and enforcement issues that threaten, and those that promise to enhance, smooth cross-border air cargo movements, and cost competitiveness and other issues that affect air cargo operations and the ability of Canadian airports to develop the air cargo market.
