ACTA asking for member input into the Competition Bureau survey on the state of competition within the domestic air passenger services sector. Member insights will be compiled into a comprehensive submission by ACTA to the Competition Bureau as part of its formal consultation process.
In May, Canada's independent law enforcement agency announced it was consulting Canadians as it prepares to launch a market study of competition in domestic air passenger services in Canada.
The Competition Bureau protects and promotes competition for the benefit of Canadian consumers and businesses and says that recent events have raised questions about the state of competition in the industry.
"ACTA welcomes the Competition Bureau's market study into the state of competition within the domestic air passenger services sector,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President. “ 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."
"To ensure that our members' voices are heard, ACTA has developed a comprehensive member engagement strategy. We invite all members to actively participate in the upcoming survey, which will be a critical component of our formal submission to the Competition Bureau. Member insights and experiences are invaluable in helping to shape the future of the airline industry in Canada,” said Paradis.
ACTA invites all members to actively participate in the upcoming survey, which is accessible here and must be completed by June 10, 2024.
The Competition Bureau of Canada has 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.
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.
