“Atlantic Canada’s airports are critical to building strong economies and communities and I’m proud to have represented our airports all of these years,” noted Pasher. “The last two and a half years have been especially challenging for the aviation sector, but if there is one thing the pandemic has taught us it’s that air service is essential in this region to connect people from coast-to-coast for goods, medical services, business, trade and tourism,” noted Pasher.
