OTTAWA — Canada has signed a new Air Transport Agreement with Argentina, providing convenient travel options between the two countries. According to Minister of Transport Pablo Rodriguez, the new agreement will replace the existing Canada-Argentina agreement that was negotiated in 1979. Airlines can immediately offer increased services as part of this expanded agreement.
“As a proud Argentinian-Canadian, I’m thrilled to announce this new agreement that will support Canada’s strong relationship with Argentina, a regional centre for trade and investment. We are always working hard to facilitate the movement of goods, services and people around the world, and this new agreement will help Canadians to do just that,” said Minister Rodriguez. The new agreement will include: Canada is continually working on new and expanded air transport agreements under the Blue Sky policy, which encourages long-term, sustainable competition and the development of international air services.
Under this policy, the Government of Canada has concluded new or expanded air transport agreements covering more than 110 countries. Argentina is Canada’s second-oldest travel market in South America, after Peru..
