Interesting exchange between @Ryan_r_Williams and Dr @profkjmoore on “Airline competition in Canada.”

In reality, this really is about competition in the domestic airline market. Canadian airlines compete daily against the world’s largest airlines on transborder and international flights.

On those markets, Canadians should be asking why the world’s most dynamic low cost carriers have avoided Canada. Why does Southwest Airlines, for example, refuse to cross the northern US border even though it flies internationally?

Dr Moore is correct: fees and taxes and the cost of operating in Canada.

On most domestic trunk routes, there is already competition with at least 2 if not 3 or more airlines competing. Mr Williams cited Toronto-Vancouver. These routes also happen to be the most consistently profitable year round.

Ottawa-Toronto is an interesting example. Why has Ottawa seen so much change in their service? The evaporation of a major portion of government travel gives part of the answer. With government’s more liberal work from home policies and increased use of virtual meetings, a significant proportion of the traffic Ottawa used to rely on has not returned post-pandemic.

So what is preventing domestic competitors from emerging?

The obvious answer are the onerous foreign ownership and control tests Canada imposes on Canadian airlines. A foreign ownership limit of 49% + individual foreign ownership restriction of 25% + the control in fact tests severely limit access to capital. The fact is, Canada’s domestic capital markets aren’t big enough to support airline start ups.

The easiest thing to do is to change that approach and use other tests on domestic ownership and control. In an age of global airline alliances, the notion of foreign ownership is well past its best before date.

But let’s face it, outside the key domestic trunk routes where domestic competition already exists, the notion that there are enough year round markets with sufficient traffic for more competition is a fantasy.
Domestic airlines already struggle to sustain year round services to most of Canada’s secondary markets. And year round service is key.

So then if the question is why are Canadian airfares so high? We go back to what Dr Moore said: fees, taxes, charges and the high cost of doing business in Canada.
