On July 29, the Competition Bureau was officially launched its market study of competition in domestic air passenger services. The launch of the market study follows the completion of the consultation on its scope, and the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry’s approval of the final terms of reference.
This market study will allow the Bureau to better understand what is driving the competition issues in the domestic airline industry. Specifically, the Bureau plans to examine three key topics:
- the state of competition in Canada’s airline industry;
- the barriers to entry and expansion that exist in the domestic industry; and
- the impediments to Canadians seeking to make informed choices for air travel.
The Bureau will publish the results of the market study in a final report, which will make recommendations to improve competition for the benefit of Canadian air passengers, as well as the workers and entrepreneurs who enable these services.
The Bureau is seeking submissions from those with information relevant to this study. Those interested in making a submission can learn more at Market study: Competition in Canada’s airline industry. The deadline for submissions is August 31, 2024.
