Canadian aviation industry won’t survive without federal help, says Calgary expert

Travel restrictions and orders to stay home during the pandemic have seen Calgary airport traffic plummet, and an industry expert said Ottawa needs to step in. Calgary-based aviation industry analyst Rick Erickson said Canadian airlines and airports won’t survive without financial assistance. "I strongly believe the federal government in Canada must make some sort of program available." Calgary Airport Authority said passenger volumes are expected to drop approximately 60 per cent in 2020
