Canada and Australia Expand Air Transport Agreement
On October 29, 2024, Transport Canada announced an expanded air transport agreement between Canada and Australia. The agreement allows for an unlimited number of direct passenger and cargo flights between the two countries. It also provides airlines with increased operational flexibility and access to any point within each other's territories. This development was finalized during the International Civil Aviation Organization's Air Services Negotiation Event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Canadian delegation included officials from Global Affairs Canada, Transport Canada, and the Canadian Transportation Agency.
