Abstract:The U.S.-Canada Aviation Agreement was signed on February 24, 1995. Under the agreement, Canadian airlines gained the right to serve any city in the United States. U.S. airlines also gained unlimited access to Canadian cities with the exception of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. For these three cities, new U.S. airline services are being phased in over a transition period. The phase-inprovisions for Montreal and Vancouver expired on the second anniversary of the new aviation agreement (February 24, 1997) and the restrictions for Toronto will be removed on the third anniversary (February 24, 1998). The United States-Canada market is the world's largest bilateral passenger market. Since the agreement was signed, total US-Canada passenger traffic has increased 37.2 percent (12.1 million to 16.6 million). The number and relative size of U.S.-Canada nonstop markets have increased, with the number of nonstop markets with more than 50,000 increasing by 42.6 percent. Seven pages of text and charts illustrate this growth.
