Major Air Carriers Criticize Ottawa’s COVID Approach, Welcome Lifting of Restrictions
( TOO LITLLE TOO LATE – AIR CARRIER BIROUCRATES ARE VERY SLOW TO REACT, IT TOOK THEM ONLY 2.5 YERAS TO RESPOND to FASISTIC MEASUREMENTS imposed by Tyrant trudeau -LAZY CORRUPTED IDIOTS )
Major air carriers in Canada have issued statements criticizing how the federal government managed the pandemic in their sector after it announced measures would be lifted on Oct. 1, with Air Canada saying they weren’t based on science.
“Air Canada welcomes the removal of these restrictions, acknowledging that air travel is safe and that the measures were not justified by science,” Craig Landry executive vice-president and chief operating officer at Air Canada said in a statement.
Landry added this will “greatly” facilitate travel and help to stabilize the sector and the Canadian economy.
The Air Canada statement came on Sept. 26, a few hours after Ottawa announced it was letting lapse interim orders affecting travel and border rules.
Starting Oct. 1, all travellers, notwithstanding their citizenship or vaccination status, will be able to enter Canada, and masks will no longer be required in planes and trains.
Non-vaccinated individuals will no longer be required to quarantine for 14 days, pre and on-arrival testing will be dropped, and the ArriveCan system which captures personal health and travel information that can be shared with international organizations will no longer be mandatory.
“While today’s announcement is a positive step, we urge the government not to lose momentum,” said Landry, calling for the streamlining of processing at airports with improved security, new technologies, and new trusted traveller programs.
He also said the “user-pay model that finances transportation” should be re-examined, due to “weaknesses and interdependencies” exposed by COVID-19.
The CEO of WestJet, Alexis von Hoensbroech, also commented on Sept. 26 on the lifting of the last restrictions.
“Today’s announcement aligns with the travel policies of other major nations, reflects our industry’s outstanding commitment to safety, and recognizes that air travel is no less safe than any other consumer activity,” he said in a statement.
Von Hoensbroech said WestJet is “relieved” that its customers will now be able to make decisions that are “best for them.”

No you POS Duckloose, the measures can be lifted because they were unconstitutional to put in place you illiterate. Does the buffoon think Canadians are as stupid as him? Even the CDC admitted there is NO difference between a jabbed & unjabbed person. They both can get infected and spread the Chinese flu bug. They both can be hospitalized and die. And now there’s plenty of evidence that those who submitted voluntarily or otherwise to the experimental, unlicensed gene therapy are experiencing many life-threatening adverse reactions and are getting infected at much higher rates than those who refused the experiment. Moreover, the number of excess deaths in Canada is at an all-time high. How can this be if “vaccines save lives”? Duckloose and his cabal of neo-Marxists need to be indicted for high treason and charged for crimes against humanity. We will never forget!
