Eight More Canadian Airports to Accept International Flights

 

The Minister of Transport, Omar Alghabra, announced that eight more Canadian airports will be accepting international flights as of 30NOV.

As such, international flights carrying passengers will be permitted to land at the following additional Canadian airports:

  • YYT
  • YHM
  • YKF
  • YQR
  • YXE
  • YLW
  • YXX
  • YYJ

These airports, in cooperation with the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency and Transport Canada, have noted that they are also working to implement measures necessary to safely welcome international passengers when they reopen on 30NOV.

“Increased vaccination levels have allowed us to safely re-open these additional Canadian airports to international passenger flights. This measure will help ensure that travellers are able to access more regional airports for their international travels this winter, while continuing to support the Government of Canada’s measured approach to re-opening our border,” said Alghabra.

Before this announcement, international flights were only directed to 10 Canadian airports.
