Competition Bureau launches study into Canada’s domestic air services

Canada’ Competition Bureau has launched its market study of competition in domestic air passenger services. The study will allow the Bureau to better understand the key drivers behind its competition concerns in Canada’s domestic airline industry. As well as examining the state of the competition, the study will also examine the barriers to both entry and expansion in the domestic industry and the impediments to Canadian passengers seeking to make informed choices for air travel. “We know many Canadians are frustrated by the cost and quality of the service being provided domestically,” said the Bureau’s commissioner of competition Matthew Boswell.
