CAPA: Canada in leadership position in next phase of pandemic

CAPA - Centre for Aviation, in a report entitled 'Canada aviation: from laggard to leader in pandemic management', stated (17-Sep-2021) Now that Canada is open to all vaccinated travellers and vaccines mandates are becoming widespread, the country has leapfrogged into somewhat of a leadership position in the next phase of the pandemic as variants of the virus continue to emerge. The government's latest position is now drawing praise from the country's second largest airline, WestJet, which believes that Canada has an opportunity to emerge as one of the safest countries for travel, which bodes well for the country's airlines. Both Air Canada and WestJet have been adding back international route pairings during the past few weeks in preparation for Canada lifting travel restrictions. [more - CAPA Analysis]
