Travel by air within Québec at discounted prices

The Regional Air Access Program (RAAP) provides a discount of 50% to 85% on the price of your plane tickets when you travel within Québec.

The RAAP fare applies to all tickets purchased either:

You are entitled to a maximum of six one-way tickets (three round-trip tickets) per person per year (from April 1 to March 31 of the following year). 

This limit does not apply if:

• Your primary residence is located in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the Bas-Saint-Laurent, the Côte-Nord, the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, the Gaspésie–Îles‑de‑la‑Madeleine, the Saguenay–Lac‑Saint‑Jean or the Nord‑du‑Québec region.
• You are a full-time student at an educational institution and your parent or guardian resides in one of the above regions.

To qualify for the discount, you must purchase a ticket at the RAAP fare from a participating airline.

Discounts range between 50% and 85%, depending on the destination.

To determine the discount that applies to your situation, refer to the table below:

Notes: 

• For routes within the same region or between two different regions, the higher percentage of assistance is applied.
• Levels of assistance have been determined on the basis of airfares offered without financial assistance, to ensure that the cost of travel to and from Montréal or Ville de Québec is similar from one region to another.
• Trips whose origin and destination are not included in this table are not eligible.
• By purchasing a ticket at the RAAP fare, passengers acknowledge that they have read and accepted the applicable terms and conditions.
