The Air Policy Directorate develops policy frameworks, including legislation and international air policy, and manages related issues affecting air transport in Canada. Its principal objective is to encourage a healthy and competitive air industry, including airlines and infrastructure providers, to ensure that Canadians have reasonable and economic access to air services. This objective recognizes the importance of air transport to other sectors in the Canadian economy and to Canada’s competitiveness abroad.  The Directorate is comprised of five organisations, described below. The activities of each organisation are performed on behalf of the Canadian air transportation industry including airlines, airports, Nav Canada, travellers and shippers.
