  • Aerospace Overview Slemon Park
    Aerospace SLEMON PARK, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Slemon Park provides a competitive and cost-efficient business climate that is crucial KPMG Cost Competitiveness Study to helping aerospace companies increase their return on investment, thereby enhancing their ability to invest in development, grow their market share and beat their competition. Prince Edward Island is home to Canada’s only aerospace tax rebate program. Aerospace companies who choose Slemon Park can generate more profit by taking Aerospace - total Cost of Operating - Index to US advantage of Prince Edward Island’s Aerospace Tax Rebate program for aviation-related companies. The Aerospace Tax Rebate incentive includes an annual rebate on corporate income tax paid to the province, and an annual rebate of real property tax relating to ownership or lease of property in Prince Edward Island. It’s no wonder that in a 2016 Cost Competitive Study completed by KPMG, which reviewed the total cost of doing aerospace business in 111 cities and 10 countries, Prince Edward Island had the 3rd highest net profit after tax amongst the 100 plus cities studied which included the major aerospace hubs of Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. This proof also translates to our current aerospace clientele. Slemon Park’s business environment has proved effective for some of the best-known names in aerospace. StandardAero and Honeywell Aftermarket Service have had operations in Slemon Park for more than 25 years. There is a reason why StandardAero and Honeywell have operated in Slemon Park for more than 25 years – they are profitable in the global competitive aerospace arena.

  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).

The request that you have made on behalf of the IP sponsors (as per the attachment) is approved with conditions. Subsection 803.01(2) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) requires that the aeronautical information services be provided in accordance with the standards set out in Annexes 4 and 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. According to Annex 15, the material to be issued as part of an aeronautical information product shall be thoroughly checked before it is submitted to the Aeronautical Information Service. To comply with the verification and validation requirements of Annex 15, Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) must be developed in accordance with the CAR 803.02(a) which requires the use of the Criteria for the Development of Instrument Procedures (TP 308). As stated in this document, all instrument approach procedures (IAPs) must be flight checked when they are submitted to NAV CANADA for publishing and distribution.
