Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

If it's a legal requirement of treaties we're party to that airlines which fly internationally be domestically controlled, that's about the most concrete rationale anyone is likely to have. Whether you ascribe motives about national interest of protectionism to the requirement, I don't think you'll ever have the lawmakers spell it out like that- though sometimes they come close with other sectors.

I don't think panamaniac is likely to get a better rationale for the requirement than what Industry Canada provides there.
