Air Canada recently commended the Governments of Canada, the United States and Mexico on reaching a new trade agreement.
The Canadian legacy carrier said the deal aigned removes “much of the uncertainty overhanging trade and business between the three countries”.
Washington and Ottawa reached an agreement on Sunday after weeks of tense bilateral talks to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The US had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico, the third member of NAFTA, in August.
Air Canada president and chief executive, Calin Rovinescu said: “While the details of the agreement need to be fully assessed, the proposed USMCA should not only promote greater trade and economic stability, but also provide numerous opportunities for future growth.
“Air Canada supports all initiatives that encourage travel between Canada, the US and Mexico, especially those that also strengthen their respective economies.
“Air Canada is the largest foreign carrier serving the US based on markets served and our success within North America has provided a foundation for our international expansion to over 100 other destinations around the world.”
