Advocacy

ACAA’s primary purpose is to be an advocate for its 14 member airports. The Association provides a vehicle through which the Atlantic Canada airport industry can speak to the federal government on policy issues that affect the vitality of the airports in our region. We do this by making presentations to parliamentary committees and by weighing in on the policy development process with mutually agreed upon policy positions.
