Summary: Canada's vast land-mass, surrounded by oceans on three sides, and a population spread out across the country makes air travel essential for tourism, trade, business and connecting remote Canadian communities with the rest of the country and the world. Not surprisingly, the economic impact of Canada's airports is substantial. Airports generate over $45 billion in economic activity, and airport operations provide over 200,000 jobs, resulting in significant tax revenues for all levels of government.
