A northern air services lobby group says new Transport Canada regulations will cause major community and safety concerns if they are not deferred.
"As Transport Canada dithers on addressing regulatory issues, thousands of northern communities and businesses are paying a heavy price, some losing their livelihoods while others struggle with exponential cost increases and supply chain insecurities," says the Canada-wide Coalition of Northern Air Services and Stakeholders (CNASS).

“704 carriers” includes multi-engine aircraft that have a takeoff weight of 19,000 pounds or more and a seating configuration for 10 to 19 passengers. "703 carriers are single-engine aircraft or multi-engine aircraft that have a maximum takeoff weight of 19,000 pounds or less and a seating configuration of nine or fewer passengers. They are often referred to as air taxi operators. READ MORE
