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.

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.
