TORONTO — A new survey from ACTA aims to gather members’ views for its submissions to the Competition Bureau on competition in domestic air sector.

Last week the Competition Bureau announced a comprehensive market study into the state of competition within the domestic air passenger services sector. The study aims to identify opportunities for enhancing competition to benefit consumers, employees, and businesses.

“ACTA welcomes the Competition Bureau’s market study into the state of competition within the domestic air passenger services sector,” said ACTA President, Wendy Paradis. “As the voice of the Canadian retail travel industry, we are committed to building a strong and competitive Canadian travel industry that benefits all Canadians.”

The Competition Bureau advises that the study is prompted by several factors, including industry concentration, high airfares, and recent challenges in travel experiences such as congestion, flight delays, cancellations, and baggage issues.
