| | Freedom to Fly |
 | | Airline safety, maintenance and flight procedures are the interest of various regulatory regimes in many countries, with additional guidelines being drafted by such multinational organisms as the International Civil Aviation Organization, (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). |
 | | Unfortunately many of the decisions made regarding this country's airline industry, whether made in the context of safety, regional development or specifically to economically regulate Air Canada's competitors and protect the national airline, have had the effect of inhibiting the development of true competition with Canada's airline industry. |
 | | Indeed, it is probably fair to say that the Canadian airline industry, (particularly with regard to the ability of airlines being able to choose which cities they wished to serve, with what equipment and via which routes) has seen regulation of literally every conceivable type with the notable exception, until recently, of market forces. |
