A national petition has been launched by the IAM Union calling on the Government of Canada to reject any proposal to privatize, sell, or transfer ownership or control of Canadian airports.
Canada’s airports are critical public infrastructure that support millions of passengers each year and play a vital role in economic stability, national security, emergency response, tourism, trade, and regional connectivity across the country.
Airports were built through long-term public investment and are intended to operate in the public interest. Any move toward privatization raises serious concerns about the long-term consequences for affordability, accountability, and service quality.
What’s at stake if airports are privatized:
• Increased costs for travellers through higher airport and airline fees
• Reduced transparency and public oversight of critical infrastructure
• Greater pressure on wages, staffing levels, and working conditions in aviation
• Prioritization of private profit over public service and accessibility
• Potential impacts on regional routes and connectivity, particularly in smaller communities
The petition is now available for Canadians to sign and share widely. It calls on the Federal government to ensure that airports remain publicly accountable infrastructure, operated in the best interest of workers, passengers, and communities; not private financial interests.
Sign and share the petition: Petition e-7453 – Petitions
This initiative reflects growing concern about the future of public infrastructure in Canada and the need to protect essential transportation assets for current and future generations.
