The portal gives access to information and business opportunities related to the StartAéro 360 program, communicates information to users, continuously develops and updates an inventory of resources, and offers services to its registered users.

The objective of the Editorial policy is to define the general framework under which information is disseminated on the StartAéro 360 portal, as well as the standards of content presentation, editing and management.

2.    General principles of the Editorial policy

  • Provide access to the relevant content and resources;
  • Contribute to the growth of companies on a national and international scale.

Furthermore, regarding the information shared by users:

  • Any contribution to StartAéro 360 is made voluntarily and may not give rise to any form of remuneration;
  • The publication of content does not constitute an endorsement from Aéro Montréal. The users remain responsible for the content they publish;
  •  Aéro Montréal does not assume any responsibility in regard to the content published by its users or in regard to the content of other websites that users may access using the links displayed on the StartAéro 360 website. The inclusion of these links does not indicate that StartAéro 360 approves of the content of the sites that are linked and implies no association between StartAéro 360 and the operators of these sites.

2.7    Information security

Access to certain sections of the portal meant for restricted users and to subscribers’ records is protected. These documents are also not detectable by search engines (whether internal or external).

2.8    Statistics and performance measures

StartAéro 360 collects statistics on the portal’s traffic (for example, access rate, most popular pages). This information is taken into account when making any decision relative to the communication approaches and management of the portal.

3.    Responsibilities

StartAéro 360 is managed by Aéro Montréal, which defines the main priorities and approves the general developmental guidelines and policies, as well as the standards and procedures required to ensure the proper functioning of the portal. 

Aéro Montréal has functional responsibility of the portal and sees to the development of policies, procedures and standards of presentation relative to it, as well as to the development and renewal of its content.

Aéro Montréal is in charge of editing and translating texts, promoting the portal in its various forms, and checking the quality of the content, the language and the graphic presentation of the documents.

4.    Presentation and browsing standards

StartAéro 360’s graphic standards have been developed in the interest of simplicity, professionalism and coherence. They provide the user with easy and user-friendly access to the desired information thanks to the visual harmonisation of the entire portal in terms of content presentation.

4.1    Indexing

The content published on the StartAéro 360 portal is indexed following standard meta-tag format.

Indexing serves various customer bases in their search for information on the portal, whether through external meta-search engines or the portal’s search engine.

4.2    External references

Insofar as an external site is aligned with the content development priorities of a site it wishes to reference, the creation of a hyperlink will be allowed provided it does not violate the Copyright Act. The preliminary permission of the referenced site’s administrator is required.

In contrast, the authorisations granted to reference the StartAéro 360 portal should outline the reasons why the authorisation has been given, the nature of the host site and the duration of the authorisation, if applicable. The authorisation should encourage the creation of a hypertext link leading to the homepage rather than to a specific document. In the latter case, StartAéro 360’s logo should be displayed on the text page.

4.3    Email for questions and comments

All messages sent to StartAéro 360’s main email address (startaero360@aeromontreal.ca) are processed by the portal manager and, if need be, redirected to the person most apt to respond within a reasonable timeframe.

4.4    Advertising

Advertising space is provided in certain sections of this portal.

Only StartAéro 360’s major partners are eligible to display their logo on the homepage.

Any other form of publicity is prohibited.
