Canada annouces expanded air transport agreement with Mongolia
Expanding Canada's air transport agreements promotes trade diversification, facilitates people-to-people ties, strengthens supply chains, boosts tourism and helps fuel our country's economic growth.
Canada's Minister of Transport, Steven MacKinnon, announced an expanded air transport agreement with Mongolia. The expanded agreement allows for direct flights between Canada and Mongolia for the first time.
The expanded agreement also includes:
• Up to three weekly passenger-combination flights per country
• Unlimited weekly all-cargo flights
• Open fifth freedom rights for all-cargo flights (the ability to operate flights between two foreign countries as long as the flight either starts or ends in the airline's home country)
The Canada-Mongolia Air Transport Agreement was originally concluded in 2018. This is the first expansion of the agreement.
