CHATTELS FACT SHEET

  • Chattels are items of tangible personal property used for the management, operation or maintenance of leased National Airports System (NAS) airports, which were sold by Transport Canada to airport authorities at the time of commercialization.
  • Items of tangible personal property sold as part of the lease agreements included such things as furniture, computer equipment, cars, trucks and snow blowers.
  • A total of $21.9 million in chattels payments remains owing to the federal government, mostly from 13 smaller, non-rent-paying airports.
