Why We Need Your Support
Most often, the concerns and issues you have are shared by others in the aviation community. But unless you step forward, the issues so important to yourself and many of your colleagues may never be heard.
We need members in all walks of life. The broader the representation SAC has from the aviation community, the stronger and more credible we become. Together we can make things happen!
Membership Benefits
We work hard to support all our members, and to support the growth and health of the provincial aviation industry, a critical element in promoting the overall growth of the provincial economy as well. Airports and air services are often taken for granted, and we must not let that happen! Saskatchewan, more than many other areas, needs a powerful air industry to excel.
