Oct. 4, 2021

Canada’s borders only recently reopened to U.S. travelers vaccinated against COVID-19, but there already have been some procedural changes that affect business aircraft operators. “The things that will get you are the things that you’re not prepared for,” said Alligator Inc.

  • Scott Harrold, president, SkyAviation International and board member and treasurer, Canadian Business Aviation Association
  • Luis Nambo, master global regulatory specialist, Universal Weather & Aviation
