Already in a fight to keeps it’s air traffic control tower, the Regina Airport Authority could now be facing the possibility of losing it’s “international” designation.
 
M.P for Regina-Wascana, Michael Kram, said a Transport Canada document he obtained listing 13 international airports, did not include either Regina or Saskatoon.
 
Kram says it would be very concerning from a number of standpoints for Saskatchewan airports to lose “international” status.
 
“It is a big concern because it will hurt our city and it’s ability to attract new businesses,” Kram said. “It will also make it more difficult for families to fly down to sunny destinations in the winter, this would make us look more like a backwater destination, instead of an international city,” he added.
 
Kram says the term “international” is much more than just an honorary title.

“I abstain on behalf of the Government of Canada,” said Garneau when he made his position known.
