How we use the list
When you ask for a quote, we ask operators with a suitable aircraft for your route and dates. The operator's name, its Transport Canada certificate and its CTA licence appear on the quote. For flights between two Canadian cities, only a Canadian operator can be licensed.
To check any operator yourself, read Is my flight legal?. For the cost side, read Canada charter taxes and fees.
