Canadian Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon will unveil new measures aimed at protecting air passengers’ rights during an announcement at the Ottawa International Airport on Friday.

The announcement comes after the federal government revealed in its spring economic outlook that it is considering inviting private investment into Canada’s airports.

MacKinnon told reporters on Wednesday that the government is in the "early stages" of talks on whether to privatize Canada’s airports.

"We’re in the early stages of a process with airport authorities and other partners to determine the best way forward. The ultimate goal, of course, is to improve the passenger experience, to improve the efficiency of our air transport system,” he said.

It is not the first time the Carney government has hinted at privatizing Canada’s airports. In the federal budget presented in November 2025, the government said it would "consider options" for the privatization of airports.
