• The Windsor International Airport (YQG) has become a success story after more than 20 years of investment and effort by the City of Windsor;
• The Windsor International Airport is a vital part of our economic and social community;
• The Windsor International Airport provides robust jobs on location and many jobs related to supporting, supplying and servicing;
• An uncontrolled Windsor International Airport would eliminate or severely jeopardize commercial passenger air travel creating significant economic repercussions;
• By removing the air traffic control tower, NAV Canada will not only be jeopardizing the safety of local airspace, but will undermine public safety of the shared Windsor-Essex and Greater Detroit Airspace that includes passenger, private, cargo and military usage;
• Any reduction in commercial air traffic will undermine families and cultural connections as Windsor-Essex is one of the most diverse communities in Canada with family members spread across the globe and air travel provides stability to these relationships;
• The Windsor International Airport is a thriving hub for the economy and has had decades of public and private investments to make this a crucial component for future economic development; and
• The Windsor International Airport is home to flight schools, training students and a corporate aviation centre, resulting in improved aviation competitiveness for all of Canada.
