AIRPORT REPORTS INCREASE IN
PASSENGER NUMBERS
16 September 2008
Officials at the Saint John Airport Inc. are reporting today that the passenger numbers for the first eight months of the year are up 4.6% over the same period last year. This follows last year’s increase of nearly 25% over the previous year.
The Airport is also reporting that the number of local people who have driven to other airports for their departure has decreased over the past two years, thanks primarily to extra summer flights offered by Air Canada, as well as the seasonal WestJet daily direct service to Toronto, and the return of SunWing for seasonal flights each spring to the Caribbean and Mexico.
WestJet Airlines operates May through to the end of October each year, and SunWing Vacations recently announced they will be returning next spring with flights to Veradero, Cuba and Cancun, Mexico, and will be starting in mid February, just in time to catch the March break sun seekers.
For release - September 5, 2008
GOVERNMENT OF CANADA ANNOUNCES FLIGHT RIGHTS FOR AIR TRAVELLERS
OTTAWA — The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, today launched Flight Rights Canada, strengthening consumer protection for air travellers. Flight Rights Canada will benefit Canadians by increasing awareness of their rights when travelling by air, and by ensuring transparency and accountability of air carriers.
"Through Flight Rights Canada, air travellers will be reassured that options are available to them if they are inconvenienced. Consumer protection is important to our government and that’s why we are taking further action," said Minister Cannon. "The introduction of Flight Rights Canada will help make sure that air travellers know their rights as consumers, and that obligations of air carriers are reflected in how they provide services."
In 2007, An Act to Amend the Canada Transportation Act was passed that included measures to better inform the travelling public of their rights as consumers. Domestic air carriers are now required to prominently display their terms and conditions of carriage at their business offices and to post this information on their websites. Regulations are being developed to require international carriers selling air transportation to and from Canada to also post their terms and conditions of carriage on their websites. In addition, an informal complaints process within the Canadian Transportation Agency was also made available.
