Canada’s Competition Bureau is recommending an end to Montreal-Trudeau airport’s monopoly on international flights, but it won’t be an easy feat.
In a report released Thursday, the Bureau said a competitive market for air travel would deliver “major benefits” for Canadians from lower prices to better customer experience.
It pointed out that Air Canada and WestJet dominate the Canadian market.
The report says opportunities exist in smaller secondary airports, which could be a better foothold for new market entrants if allowed to service international flights, instead of the current system that limits them to one major airport per region.
