National Airports System

national systems, national system of garage ventilation
Canada's National Airport System NAS was defined in the National Airports Policy published in 1994 It was intended to include all airports with an annual traffic of 200,000 passengers or more, as well as airports serving the national, provincial and territorial capitals

All airports, with the exception of the three territorial capitals, in the NAS are owned by Transport Canada and leased to the local authorities operating them

As of 1994, the 26 NAS airports served 94% of all scheduled passenger and cargo traffic in Canada

Due to very close proximity to the Province of Newfoundland, the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon a Collectivité territoriale de la République française, cooperate with Canada on air travel via several major Canadian airports
