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.

Eligibility

The RAAP fare apples to all tickets purchased either:

  • by an individual for personal travel

  • for travel as part of a student activity (school, after-school, sports or cultural)

The RAAP fare does not apply to tickets:

  • used for business travel or work-related trips
  • used for charter flights

Eligible trips

Regional air travel tickets for which the point of origin and destination are in Québec are eligible. Trips within the same region or between two different regions are also eligible. Travel to destinations outside the province of Québec are excluded from the program.

Note that each carrier determines its own conditions of sale and ticket modifications.

Websites that compare prices from different carriers, such as SkyScanner or Kayak, do not allow tickets to be purchased at the RAAP fare.
