A spokesperson for the Saskatoon Airport Authority doesn’t believe there is any reason why the application for an international designation won’t be accepted.
Skyxe Vice-President of Business Development and Service Quality, CJ Dushinski, says the application process is new.
It’s not something they have had to do before.
She explains there was a bureaucratic change announced by Transport Canada back in January.
The Regina airport is going through the same process.
Dushinski suggests having the international designation is just a name.
It doesn’t change the ability to accept international flights.
Skyxe is almost ready to submit its application, but is waiting for confirmation letters from a few government agencies stating the airport meets the necessary facility and service requirements.
Dushinski doesn’t expect the application will be denied.
The deadline to apply is June 30th.
