The Drummondville Airport is a member of the Québec air transport
association (AQTA), a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve the airline industry and to work
for its development.
With our AQTA membership, we’re on top of the latest news, all air transport
regulations in force, and all upcoming regulations, both from Transport Canada and NAV Canada.
This association, which is well respected by the Canadian aviation industry, provides us with many
opportunities and contacts related to our market, in addition to representation, thoughtful defense of
rights, and information and advice related to aviation regulations, relations with Transport Canada and
Transports Québec, taxation, the Canada Labour Code, the Canadian Transportation Agency and many other
subjects.
As a member of AQTA we also have access to several activities, including an annual
conference, which gathers hundreds of participants with whom we can discuss current issues and policies
affecting our industry, and participation in workshops, meetings and technical presentations. A networking
day is also part of the annual activities. In addition, we benefit from preferential rates for advertising
in the Air magazine as well as a host of other benefits related to the air-carrier industry.
The Drummondville Airport is also a member of the Québec Airports
Council, an organization bringing together and providing advanced services to airports in Québec,
including representation of airport interests through networking and consultation with all partners, and
the realization of concrete initiatives. The organization assists its members in meeting the current
challenges, such as ensuring effective management of their operations, favouring airport viability and
development, promoting safety and security while advocating to governments the implementation of adequate
regulation, etc.
