At the end of January, the federal government revised its list of airports that have official “international” designations.
When the updated list of 13 came out, both Regina and Saskatoon were not on it.
Regina Airport Authority President and CEO James Bogusz spoke with reporters on Monday and said this is not just the loss of a title.
“This, right now anyway, would mean that there is no internationally designated airport in Saskatchewan,” he said. “Frankly that would be unacceptable, not only as a capital city but as the previous 15th busiest airport in the country before the pandemic, we see this as essential in the ability to market our region and to market to businesses who may want to locate here in the future,” Bogusz said.
