Consultations

Through consultations, the Agency gains a greater understanding of different perspectives from the public, stakeholders and experts and therefore develops more informed and effective policies and programs.

Air passenger protection

You have rights when you travel by air. The CTA has developed the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) to establish the minimum obligations of airlines towards passengers.
