Thousands of frustrated travellers sign petition against airline monopoly in Canada Canada Travel
Thousands of people have signed a petition addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to stop airline monopoly in Canada.was posted on Change.org on June 10 by user Alex Etin. In an accompanying letter, Etin states that air travel has become less affordable and options limited due to"the stranglehold that a few dominant Canadian airlines companies maintain on our airports."
"The lack of competition in our air travel sector leads to a deficit of flights, limiting the routes we can take and the frequency of these flights," remarks Etin."To exacerbate the situation, the limited supply coupled with high demand has driven prices to prohibitive levels." Etin's sentiments struck a chord with thousands, as the petition is just a few hundred signatures away from reaching its goal of 10,000 signatures. As of publishing this article, 9,874 people have signed the petition.
According to the petition, Canada's airline monopoly is"a deterrent to potential tourists and investors.""This change opened the doors to more airlines, sparking healthy competition that resulted in increased frequency of flights, a wider array of routes, and, most importantly, more affordable prices," states the petition.that it completed its much-awaited acquisition of budget airline Sunwing Airlines and Sunwing Vacations.
