MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
PATRICIA KENNEDY
Chief Operating Officer
Pacific Flying Club
It has been an honour and a
privilege to serve as Chair of
the Air Transport Association
of Canada's Board of Directors for 2002. Looking back
at the events and experiences
of the past year, it seems as
though we were confronted with new and enormous
challenges nearly every day. And our industry has
been changed by them.
Change, in the aviation sector, is nothing new – we
have been through a decade and more of change.
Regulatory change, economic change, structural
change, we have seen it all, and, as an industry, we
have survived and been bettered by it.
We have seen our members make the difficult transition from being a predominantly closed domestic
industry, operating under the tight control of government, to a much more open industry, operating
under the pressures of international competition and
feeling the effects of global events. And of course, no
global event has affected Canada's air transport
sector more than September 11th and its fallout.
The effects of September 11th on national, regional and
large charter carriers have been thoroughly reported in
the media. But for smaller operators and flight training
facilities, such as the one I am associated with, the year
has had its own particular challenges.
Smaller operators also have been hit. Hit with
insurance increases, unpredictable fuel prices, and
innumerable hassles in training new pilots and with
getting people in and out of the country – particularly if they go anywhere near the United States. These
problems have been compounded by the general
economic uncertainty we are currently experiencing in
Canada, the United States and around the world.
Fortunately, our industry has also managed to
accomplish a lot over the past year, and ATAC has
been a critical part of that. As an organization,
ATAC has dealt very effectively with the fallout of
September 11th:
We helped develop tighter security standards for the
industry. We persuaded the government to introduce
an industry compensation program. We played a
critical role in improving the government's implementation of the aviation security tax, and particularly in winning an exemption from the fee for many
segments of the industry. And perhaps most significantly, we finally convinced the government to review
airport rents.
[3]
While there are still many challenges before us,
many others have already been dealt with. Now, more
than ever, it is important for all commercial operations, large and small, to fully participate in the future
of our industry.
Canada's air transport industry has been through
many changes and upheavals, but what has not
changed is our ongoing commitment to Canadian
aviation, and to serving the people, businesses and
communities in which we live and operate.
I am proud to be part of Canada's historic aviation
industry and to have had the opportunity to work
with the many outstanding people serving on the
Board and the Committees of the Association, and
with our excellent staff. My experience this year has
given me optimism about the future of our industry.
I would like to thank my fellow Board members for
their support and counsel throughout the year. And
on behalf of the Board, I want to express our gratitude to Cliff Mackay and the entire ATAC staff for a
job well done. Finally, I want to pass my best wishes
on to next year's Chair and Board Members.
I have no doubt that the next year will be as interesting and challenging as the past year, but with your
commitment and hard work, I am certain that our
industry will survive and ultimately grow. Good Luck.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
J. CLIFFORD MACKAY
President & Chief Executive Officer
Air Transport Association of Canada
Throughout 2002, ATAC has
continued coping with the
host of issues flowing from the
aftermath of last year’s September 11th terrorist attacks.
Confronting the challenges of
the post 9/11 world has brought out the best in our
industry; but it also has tested us, challenged our
business models, and pushed many companies to
the limits of endurance.
So far, the industry has weathered the storm, but we
are not yet out of it, and many of the most fundamental decisions confronting us are still to be made.
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
The events of the past year have left us with more
questions than answers.
Industry attention in the months following September
11th inevitably focused on managing the crisis –
increasing security, containing costs, and adapting
to the dramatic slowdown of the Canadian and U.S.
economies. But many issues going to the heart of
our industry remain.
Clearly, the global aviation sector will be fundamentally changed over the next few years. Presidents of
major carriers around the world – including our own
Air Canada – have said that the existing business
models for major network airlines no longer work
and must be rethought.
Similarly, business models for regional, lower-cost,
carriers also came under pressure after September
11th as uncontrollable business costs began to climb.
While a few expenses have been contained many
others have not, and it remains to be seen how they
will be accommodated by the marketplace.
The impact of these industry changes will be felt
throughout the country. For example, markets that
have traditionally generated only very modest
returns – even before September 11th – are likely to
become increasingly uneconomical.
[5]
For its part, the federal government must soon recognize that major changes are underway in the
global aviation sector, many of which will inevitably
lead to changes in the government’s stewardship of
Canadian aviation.
Over the next year, ATAC will continue working to
clarify these questions and to better understand
what they might mean for our industry, for our
customers and for Canada, in general.
Even in the face of uncertainty, ATAC had some
notable achievements this year.
Another by-product of September 11th was the
requirement to increase the security of aircraft flight
decks. In addition to helping Federal officials develop
and consult on the regulations supporting these
safeguards, the Association also managed to
convince the government to contribute $35 million
to help the industry defray the costs of implementing
these security enhancements.
Similarly, ATAC also played a major role in helping
start up and frame the responsibilities of the
Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA).
ATAC, on behalf of the industry, makes two appointments to the CATSA board and continues to be
involved in key issues such as the introduction of
performance measures and cost containment.
INSURANCE
Clearly, one of the most critical issues confronting
the industry was the sudden loss of a key portion of
the insurance coverage our fleets need to continue
operating. In response to an intervention by ATAC,
the federal government agreed to provide the
indemnification the industry needed to stay in the
air. We also have continued pressing the government
to maintain this indemnification until a more permanent solution becomes available.
SECURITY
INDUSTRY COMPENSATION
Security has become one of the dominant issues of
our time. Over the past year, the Association and its
members have worked closely with Transport
Canada to clarify security standards, improve the
flow of information and effectively deal with
changing international issues and procedures.
This year, ATAC members also saw the benefits of the
industry compensation program negotiated with the
federal government in the weeks following September
11th. So far, this program has provided $90 million in
relief to operators all segments of the industry.
AIRPORT RENTS
One of the most important security issues we faced
was the implementation of the government’s new
Air Transport Security Tax (ATST). ATAC worked
closely with the Department of Finance to make the
security tax as sensible as possible. More recently,
we also met with Parliamentarians, Ministerial staff
and other key decision-makers in preparation for the
government’s promised review of the tax and its
impacts on the industry.
[6]
Significant progress also has been made in the area
of airport rents.
As many members know, ATAC has been a persistent
critic of the federal government’s airport rent formula, which we feel is incoherent and effectively
works against the government’s overall objectives
for the transportation industry. We also are extremely
concerned that at a time when consumer costs have
risen in so many other ways, the government has
indicated that it plans to further increase the rent
burden by an additional $23 million in January 2002.
Working in cooperation with other industry organizations, ATAC has finally received a commitment
from the Minister of Transport that his department
will undertake a full review of airport rents. Over the
next year, we will continue pressuring the government to move ahead with this review and will press
the industry’s concerns on rent burden once the
review gets underway.
SAFETY
ATAC continues to put a high priority on improving
our first class record for safety. The Association was
very active in a number of international efforts such
as FAST and CAST. In addition, ATAC was very active
in promoting safety management systems approaches
with our members.
You will hear more about this during our AGM and
in the months to follow.
OTHER INITIATIVES
The normal business of the Association also has
continued. We conceived and implemented a new
member magazine called ‘Flightplan’, the second
issue of which has just been provided to our members.
The introduction of flight plan improves our communications with members while reducing our costs.
Accessibility issues have been dealt with, progress
has been made on a variety of training issues, and
we have continued working to clarify and improve a
variety of government regulations.
THE WORK AHEAD
The work completed by the Association this year, will
lead to much more work in the future. While many
important advances have been made in the areas of
air security, industry economics and airport relations,
much remains to be done.
[7]
More than ever before, the Canadian aviation sector
needs the active partnership of our government
regulators and infrastructure providers to ensure the
industry can successfully meet the challenges of a
changing global industry.
More than ever before, the federal government
needs to develop and implement a more robust
policy agenda for commercial aviation. And they
need to back up that policy agenda with concrete
action, a flexible attitude, and a commitment to
ensuring that Canadian aviation continues to have a
meaningful presence in the skies of the world.
THANK YOU
In closing, I wish to acknowledge and thank the
extremely hard working and dedicated ATAC officers
and staff who handled a difficult year with class and
commitment. I also want to thank the Board and, in
particular our Chair, for the support and guidance
that they have provided over the past year.
I look forward to meeting the challenges of the coming
year and building on foundations already established.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash equivalents
Deposits with financial institutions that can be withdrawn without prior notice or penalty and short-term deposits with an original term to maturity of
ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents as they are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and not subject to significant changes in value.
Investments
Short-term investments are carried at the lower of cost plus accrued interest and market value.
Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized, over their estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis using the following annual rates:
Office equipment
10%
Computer equipment
20%
Leasehold improvements
10%
Software
33%
Marketing equipment
33%
Deferred costs
Deferred costs comprise expenses incurred in the successful arrangement of a Memorandum of Agreement on Airport Improvement Fees that was executed between airlines, airports and the Association. The Agreement provides for an administrative fee to be paid to the Association. The deferred costs
are being amortized over five years.
[ 15 ]
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
DEFERRED LEASE INDUCEMENTS
Lease inducements are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is the ten years beginning February 1, 1997.
Amortization of the deferred lease inducements is applied to reduce occupancy cost.
For the year ended
September 30, 2002
PENSION PLAN
The Association accrues its obligations under an employee benefit plan and the related costs, net of changes in plan assets, as follows:
• The cost of pensions and other retirement benefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro rated on
service and management’s best estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and expected
health care costs.
• For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value.
• The net transitional asset is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees covered by the pension plan, which is 11 years.
The amount contributed to the plan by the Association is established using accepted actuarial procedures. The difference between the amount expensed and
the amount contributed by the Association is recorded as a deferred charge or credit.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for revenue.
Membership fees are recognized as revenue in the period to which they relate. Revenue from Association meetings and programs is recognized as revenue
when the services are provided.
Revenue from special assessments is recognized in the year in which the related expenses are incurred.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Association administers training programs for training air cadets. The Association contracts for the services of flight training schools and receives
reimbursement for the costs of the air cadet training from the Department of National Defence and the Air Cadet League. The Association received
$15,525 (2000 – $4,700) in fees for the administration of the programs.
The Association has received funding from Human Resources Development Canada to perform a study of human resource issues facing commercial
pilots in Canada. The study is being performed by an outside consulting firm. The Association acts as an administrator of the program by obtaining the
appropriate funding and disbursing the funds in accordance with the approved expenditures.
The Traffic Conference is a separate Committee within the Association that develops interline rules for connecting domestic flights. The Association
contracts out the administration of these rules. The Association charges members to cover the cost of administering the interline rules.
The Canadian Aviation Security Awareness Committee was formed in 1998 to ensure and promote proactive security measures at airports in areas
such as security pass usage and access to secure areas in airports. A Committee, made up of key players in the industry, was formed to ensure that the
program goals were met. The Association acts as an administrator of the program by collecting fees and disbursing these funds in accordance with the
Committee approved expenditures.

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. This was a result of the privatization policy as it relates to aviation security. It is management’s intention to wind-up
ATSC in the coming fiscal year. The surplus funds, if any, will be used or distributed to the users of ATSC, as determined by the Association’s Board of Directors.
