New air transport agreements Canada has secured with countries in the Caribbean, Middle East, Asia and Africa could mean more destinations and new flight routes leaving out of YVR.
On Wednesday, federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced Canada has signed new or expanded agreements with St. Vincent and the Grenadines along with five other countries.
The new agreement with St. Vincent and the Grenadines is an Open Skies-type agreement, which allows an unlimited number of passenger and cargo flights between Canada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
“Introducing new routes and greater market access for our airlines is often a multi-year process,” said the director of air service development Carl Jones.
“We look forward to looking at the additional access these agreements provides for Air Canada, WestJet and our international airlines.”
