Competition bureau report released Thursday proposes creation of working group
A new report from the Competition Bureau of Canada calls on the federal government to boost competition in the country’s airline industry — placing special emphasis on the needs of northern and remote communities.
Titled Cleared for Take-off: Elevating Airline Competition, the report released Thursday lays out 10 recommendations to improve market access and lower airfares.
The bureau conducted a field study in Iqaluit and more than 120 interviews with local people, businesses and airline representatives in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon and northern Quebec.
