Their objectives are to promote safe, reliable, efficient and affordable air transportation for people and goods to the benefit of Canadian societies. Engage in relevant government and regulatory authorities to advance Canadian commercial aviation and facilitate sustainable air transport. Advocate for government recognition of commercial aviation as a Canadian socio-economic driver. Promote the availability of world class flight training in Canada, domestically and internationally. Promote and support sound environmentally responsible operations and policies. Promote and support a regulatory framework that recognizes enterprise and imagination in providing safe and competitive air transport services. Provide excellent and cost effective services to our members. Promote professional operation standards and business practices by the membership. Inform and engage the public and other stakeholders about the industry and its view. And communicate matters of interest to our members in a timely manner.
