International Association of Airport Executives Canada

Greetings!

Hopefully you survived Halloween with no mischief perpetrated at your airport! November is preparation month, maintenance of equipment ready for winter and now getting the crew ready. That's called training, and no one does it better when it comes to airport training than us.

We have arranged training in Prince George, Moncton & Hamilton this month with Halifax, Fort St John & Conklin in December. That might just be about it for 2010 so we, like you will turn our attention to 2011. If you are making up budgets and plans for 2011, please keep our conference in mind, Charlottetown in May/June will be lovely so why not plan on bringing your significant other. Also you know you need training in 2011, why not drop us an email telling us how many you want trained and in what discipline so when we put our 2011 courses out we can take you into account and perhaps put them on your doorstep or at least as close as possible.
