After entertaining new entrants for several years, Canada's airline market is once again on the path to consolidation, raising the likelihood of higher fares and fewer flight options.

Young boys look out at Air Canada and WestJet planes at Calgary International Airport on August 31, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntoshMONTREAL - After entertaining new entrants for several years, Canada's airline market is once again on the path to consolidation, raising the likelihood of higher fares and fewer flight options.

“The fewer competitive entities you have in Canada, the less pressure you have to be price-competitive,” Gradek said. While big cities remain amply served, smaller ones have fewer options, which can also result in higher prices and, when things go awry, stranded passengers. “In recessionary periods, there's a lot of airplanes suddenly on the market at a low cost,” said Barry Prentice, director of the University of Manitoba's transport institute.

Pearson's “airport improvement fee” on a no-frills, one-way Flair flight booked this week between Toronto and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for April amounts to $35, or one-third of the $107 ticket . A security charge tacks on another $12. For a family of four, that adds nearly $200 to the journey.
