Air Transport Association of Canada

The Air Transport Association of Canada is a national trade association for commercial aviation. It is based in Ottawa, Ontario. The site says it has served Canadian aviation since 1934. The association supports its members on safety, sustainability and growth in air transport.

The site says the association connects airlines, aviation service providers, manufacturers and flight training centres. It also connects government bodies and other stakeholders. The association says this builds partnerships and opportunities for growth. Its priorities include advancing civil aviation interests in Canada.

The history on the site starts in 1934. The association was founded at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa. It has had other names since then. In 1962 it became the Air Transport Association of Canada, when its manufacturing members formed their own group. The association then focused on air operators and commercial aviation support.

The site lists its values. Inclusiveness recognises the challenges of northern airlines. Sustainability is a priority, including sustainable aviation fuel and carbon neutrality. Lifelong learning and new technologies are also listed. The site says the association will lead its members toward sustainable practices.

The association will hold its Canadian Aviation Conference and Tradeshow in Vancouver from November 17 to 19, 2026. The site also lists a spring event for 2026, industry events and an awards section. A member login is available on the site.

The office address is 222 Queen Street, Suite 1110, Ottawa, Ontario. The site lists the phone number 613-233-7727 and a contact form. The president and chief executive is Julie Mailhot. Accounting and media enquiries have separate contacts listed on the site.
