Cabotage Canadian Transportation Agency • The transportation of passengers between points in Canada, by a U.S. airline as part of a trip originating in or destined to the United States, is international transportation and not a “cabotage” movement. When the transportation is part of a continuous international journey with stopovers at points within Canada and is covered by a single contract, the entire transportation, including the portions between points in Canada, is considered to be international. 27 Cabotage Canadian Transportation Agency Under this Agreement designated airlines of Canada and the United States may operate scheduled or charter flights between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in Canada and may provide stopovers at points in either territory. There is no limitation on the number of points at which such stopovers may be made. In the case of charters, there is no longer a requirement for the aircraft to remain with the charter group at the point of stopover . . . Or for the same aircraft to be used for the entire journey. 28 10

Cabotage Canadian Transportation Agency In view of these provisions, a United States airline may transport passengers from the United States to a first point of arrival in Canada, return to that Canadian point at a later date and transport the same group to another point in Canada for another stopover, provided that the entire transportation of the group is under a single contract with that airline for transportation which originates in, or is finally destined for a point in the United States. 29 Cabotage Canadian Transportation Agency The CTA would consider that the carriage of a charter group on a journey which included roundtrip transportation between two points in Canada, with stopovers at that point on both occasions, would not be an international journey. As an example, the transportation by a U.S. carrier of a charter group on a “continuous journey” from Pittsburgh to Montreal, as a stopover point and subsequently from Montreal to Toronto and return to Montreal with stopovers at each point, even if the journey ultimately continues to another point in the U.S.A., would be considered to be two separate trips, one of which would involve cabotage. 30 11
