001air-transport-aviation-safetyCurrent sources show that aviation safety and policy, transportation economic regulation and passenger-related matters, passenger/baggage screening, civil air navigation, airport certification, and international air-service arrangements are handled through federal Canadian, Canada-wide/operator, and international aviation frameworks today, while Alberta has transportation and economic-corridor responsibilities.002air-transport-aviation-safetyAn independent Alberta would need legal authority, safety-regulator capacity, airport-certification continuity, screening continuity, air-navigation service arrangements, airline and passenger-rule continuity, insurance confidence, and international recognition before airports and flights could operate predictably.003air-transport-aviation-safetyThe strongest anti-independence / pro-federation case is that smooth aviation should not be assumed without binding arrangements for regulator recognition, airport certification, security screening, air navigation services, airline economics, passenger protections, international air-service rights, and operational readiness.004air-transport-aviation-safetyThis topic remains uncertainty-labelled: medium-to-high, because post-independence aviation outcomes would depend on Canada-Alberta agreements, Alberta legislation and staffing, airport-certification continuity, screening arrangements, air-navigation services, airport and airline readiness, international recognition and air-service rights, insurance, budgets, and public implementation timelines.
