Canada and Japan Expand Bilateral Air Transport Agreement

(Canada-Asia News Service – Transport Canada)

The Government of Canada has reached an agreement with Japan to expand the existing bilateral air transport agreement between the two countries. The expanded agreement allows airlines to offer unlimited services between Canada and any city in Japan outside of the Tokyo area. It also allows, for the first time, under certain conditions, access to Haneda Airport,

Tokyo’s metropolitan airport. The agreement further includes modernized aviation safety and security provisions and provides mechanisms for airline prices to adapt faster to market fluctuations.
