Future Air Canada flights to Regina could be affected by loss of control tower
Air Canada confirmed that if the Regina airport loses its air traffic control tower it will have an effect on the airline’s decision to send flights to the Queen City.David Rheault, Air Canada’s managing director, government and community relations, addressed the issue during the House of Commons’ transportation committee on Thursday.“For operations, if there’s no control tower, the operations become more complex so operations will go towards other airports, so it entails problems for our carriers,” Rheault said in response to Regina MP Michael Kram when asked about the impact of losing the airport’s air traffic control tower.
