Syria and Iraq Resume Direct Flights to Russia
- On Monday, Quebec Superior Court Justice Nancy Bonsaint granted Air Liaison's request to stay the Transport Ministry's July 2 decision, immediately restoring the airline's status within the Regional Air Access Program pending final court review.
- The province terminated its financial assistance agreement with Air Liaison on July 2, alleging the airline made "false declarations" and failed to respect funding conditions regarding subsidized ticket purchases, Transport Minister Benoit Charette said.
- Serving remote communities like La Romaine and Blanc-Sablon with limited road access, Air Liaison faces ongoing scrutiny after Quebec's anti-corruption unit, UPAC, raided its Quebec City headquarters in June investigating alleged overpayments.
- While legal proceedings continue, Air Liaison stated it has covered the government subsidy value for eligible tickets sold since July 2, ensuring customers maintained reduced fares during the dispute.
- The Regional Air Access Program subsidizes flights within Quebec by offering discounts between 50 and 85 per cent for eligible travellers, providing vital connectivity to isolated regions across the province.
