Fight to keep airports public is a success

The Public Service Alliance of Canada, and its component, the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees (UCTE) are cautiously celebrating the successful outcome of their campaign to protect airports from privatization. “It was recently made public that the government has decided to shelve a report that explores the further privatization of Canada’s airports. ‘We are pleased that the federal government has confirmed that they will not be proceeding with a plan to sell off Canada’s airports at this time,’ said Robyn Benson, PSAC National President. ‘Canadians would not benefit from a private, for-profit, airport infrastructure system. Costs would rise for passengers, and the quality of service would diminish just so a few investors can make a profit.’”
