I don’t have a problem with more competition, just as long as they’re not American owned Airlines. But as long as Trump continues with his 51st state crap it has to be elbows up and keep on boycotting.
Do like with automobile price caps, but make it a maximum percentage amount of profit on costs for pre booked flights and let the airlines decide what to do for last minute flights.
Is that really something happening elsewhere in the world? (Other than in „free market“ USA).
I don’t think I’ve ever seen domestic flights in other countries not from domestic airlines…
It seems like the foreign ownership would (likely) be American. Are we really looking for a way to sabotage a very effective boycott and make up lost revenue for American companies in the process?
How does allowing Southwest Airlines (as an example) to cripple our domestic carriers benefit us as a nation? Am I looking at this wrong?
The complaint about airport fees is understandable, although ultimately that money’s pretty much got to come from somewhere, and „tell the airlines to eat it“ would just move it to a different part of your flight-purchase receipt.
Here’s the part I don’t understand. The article lists the following breakdown of market share:
– Air Canada: 34%
– Westjet: 30%
– Flair: 10%
– Porter: 9%
– others: 17%
…Flair and Porter are both relatively new airlines; Porter’s more than doubled it’s fleet, doubled its business model to add jets and a second hub, and moved from regional to continental carrier in the past four years, and Flair in its current incarnation is just over five years into its move from one-off/charter-reliant to regular-service airline, very possibly making it the first sustainable LCC in Canadian history.
What part of this does NOT thoroughly demonstrate that it’s possible to launch and grow new, competitive airlines in Canada?
>Although smaller carriers are gaining market share, Air Canada and WestJet account for half to three-quarters of all domestic passengers at the busiest eight airports, the study found.
Porter didn’t fly to #1, 2, 4, 5 or 7 until three years ago, and now has solid and increasing market share at each of them.
Meanwhile, here’s the market breakdown for the US:
– Delta: 18%
– American: 18%
– United: 16%
– Jetblue: 10%
– Southwest: 17%
– Spirit: 5%
– Frontier: 4%
– Others: 12%
Four legacy-style carriers control almost an identical market share to Westjet/Air Canada’s, while three LCCs control 26% compared to Canada’s two controlling 19%.
The difference is, the American carriers are fighting over 346 million customers, nearly 9x the size of Canada’s market, and airlines make money on volume.
Is this going to improve by letting Ryanair start operating Halifax-Montreal?
