GA Groups Oppose Canadian Airport Consultation Proposal
The measure stems from an effort to increase public consultation on new airport projects.

General aviation groups are opposing a measure that would give the Canadian transport minister greater authority to block airport development or improvement projects if such a move is believed in the “best public interest.” The measure, part of a larger budget bill before the Canadian Parliament, stems from an effort to increase public consultation on new airport projects, according to the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA).
