Boosting competition among Canadian airlines means more foreign owners: watchdog
Description
June 19, 2025
Canada’s Competition Bureau is urging the federal government to allow for up to 100 per cent foreign ownership of domestic-only airlines as a way to spur more competition in the industry. The recommendation is one of several made by the Competition Bureau in a new study looking at Canada’s aviation industry, with the watchdog suggesting changes to the “highly concentrated” market, dominated by Air Canada and WestJet. Anne Gaviola has the story.
