The federal government’s decision to raise foreign ownership levels for domestic airlines is expected to eventually create a class of ultra low-cost domestic carriers where the cost of a ticket could compel you to go visit your family in Vancouver or Calgary more often.
Not only that, the government will also be introducing legislation that will spell out a traveller’s bill of rights, which will give passengers some remedies if they feel they’ve been wronged by a carrier.
These were among the initiatives announced Thursday in Montreal by Transport Minister Marc Garneau. These initiatives are expected to make air transportation more economically viable for a larger number of Canadians as well as spur Canada’s economic growth.
