| Airports across Canada encompass a wide variety of aviation occupations. These different occupations represent quality labour force that contributes to airport governance, operations, and services. The overall effect of quality labour force in Canadian airports can provide its visitors and travelers with world-class service and ensure the strictest travel safety. To understand the Canadian aviation industry and labour markets, InterVISTAS Consulting Group (InterVISTAS) has conducted a study, including a survey of collected data from 31 airports across Canada. This report serves as a comprehensive analysis, taking into consideration qualitative and quantitative information, to understand the trends in Canadian airports and their occupations. The Canadian Council for Aviation and Aerospace, in partnership with the Canadian Airports Council (CAC), with funding from the federal government, commissioned InterVISTAS to conduct this Airport Occupations Rationalization Project. The project focused on defining the human resource issues facing the airport sector. The results provide airports with an overview of human resource issues associated with airport occupations, as well as observations and recommendations. The Airport Occupation Rationalization project focused on developing a sector study to comprehend and define the human resource issues facing this important sub-sector. Airports vary in size, complexity and governance structure. By consulting and engaging the airport industry leaders and stakeholders through a sector study, this project will provide the industry with a useful overview of key human resource issues associated with airport occupations, as well as recommendations for further deliberations by the stakeholders. The focus of this study was to identify sector-specific trends regarding training and development, recruitment and retention and other human resources issues. Download a copy of the report.
