Saskatoon Chamber CEO Jason Aebig. The Chamber launched a complaint Tuesday with the federal Competition Bureau calling for a probe of Air Canada and WestJet’s moves to cut regional routes in each other’s respective home markets.WestJet has previously announced it was pulling back from regional routes in Atlantic Canada, and focusing its business around its operations in Calgary.
“Route changes through 2022 suggest that Air Canada and WestJet took steps to soften competition in the oligopolistic Canadian airline industry. Air Canada withdrew competition from the traditional home-turf regional routes of WestJet, and WestJet did the same in the traditional home-turf regional routes of Air Canada,” he wrote.Article content“Air Canada complies with all its regulatory obligations in relation to route suspensions.
“They have a responsibility to the country, and specifically the travelling public, to account for decisions that are clearly undermining competition and choice,” he wrote.Article contentAir Canada reported a $508 million quarterly loss in October, although it announced its operations had reached pre-pandemic levels. CEO Michael Rousseau noted ongoing operational challenges created headaches for travellers.
