“I am very proud of our organization, it has been 15 years since we started and with a lot of hard work and dedication we have achieved this fantastic milestone,” said Chief executive officer, Phyl Durdey. “First Transport Canada, then EASA [European Aviation Safety Agency] and now GCAA. This opens a lot of doors.”
