ACTA is urging that its travel industry members take part in a federal Competition Bureau market study on 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, and the deadline for survey responses must be made by June 10.

The Competition Bureau advises 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.

ACTA says member insights will be compiled into a comprehensive submission it will present to the Competition Bureau as part of its formal consultation process.

“To ensure that our members’ voices are heard, ACTA has developed a comprehensive member engagement strategy,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President. “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.”
