Economic Development

In 2017, the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) commissioned a study by InterVISTAS to look at the value of general aviation in Canada. The study revealed that general aviation contributes:

• 9.3B to the Canadian economy directly from aviation (does not include commercial operations).
  

• 35,000 Full time equivalent jobs (FTE’s) directly from the General Aviation sector.
  

Community Engagement

• Focus on the interface / education of the relevance of general aviation.
  

• Engagement and involvement of elected officials, and business community members.
  
• Invite communities to showcase their uniqueness of spirit and assets, and join together to enjoy a free outdoor event of aviation and sunshine at their local airport.
• Inspire and educate our rural youth on aviation career opportunities.

Safety

• Air Tours pilots are thoroughly briefed on normal and emergency procedures throughout each tour.
  

• Safety of the public, volunteers and the pilots continues to be the number one priority.
  

Want to Get Involved?

The Alberta Air Tours aim to inform and educate communities across the province and to inspire an interest in aviation. 

We’re looking for pilots and community leaders to unite with us in spreading our passion for flying and aircraft.

Think you’d make a good addition to the team? We’d love to hear from you!
