Podcast: Flying to Canada Update

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. President Ron Renz, who recently completed a flight to Winnipeg. “The rules change. You’d better check daily if you’re going to go [to Canada].”

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

  • Scott Harrold, president, SkyAviation International and board member and treasurer, Canadian Business Aviation Association
  • Luis Nambo, master global regulatory specialist, Universal Weather & Aviation
  • Ron Renz, president, Alligator Inc.
  • Podcast Episode
    The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
