The agency is tasked with enforcing competition law in Canada, said in a press release listing the reasons for its study that domestic airfare in Canada 'appears to be relatively high' and that Canadians are filing more complaints about air travel recently.
Competition Bureau has asked Canadians to weigh in on the study's terms of reference, requesting public comment on topics like supporting airline entry and expansion, and supporting consumers when shopping for airfares.
The Competition Bureau aims to study how competition in the sector affects lower prices, more choice, and innovation. It will look into the concentration of the market with only two major airlines, Westjet and Air Canada.
