State of airline competition in Canada / Peter Schiefke, chair. : XC27-1/1-451-6E-PDF

"Following the announcement, in February 2024, that Lynx Airlines was ending its operations, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (the Committee) held four meetings to study the state of airline competition in Canada. Witnesses included academics and passenger rights groups, as well as representatives from airlines, airports, the Department of Transport, and the Competition Bureau of Canada. Witnesses outlined their views on the current state of competition between airlines in Canada, with a focus on domestic routes. They also provided their opinions on a variety of potential solutions to increase competition and improve the ability of new and smaller airlines to not only enter the market but also remain economically viable beyond the short-term. In particular, the Committee heard several discussions on the comparatively high fees and taxes that affect air travellers’ ticket costs in Canada, as well as debates on the merits and limitations of the user-pay model that has defined the Canadian system since deregulation in the 1990s"--Summary.
