Competition Bureau's Concerns About Advertising of Flights Into Toronto Island Airport Resolved
Ottawa, August 14, 2006 – The Competition Bureau announced today that its concerns with Air Canada and Jazz Air LP (collectively Air Canada) regarding the advertising of flights in and out of the Toronto City Centre Airport (TCCA) have been resolved as a result of Air Canada’s actions. The Bureau commenced an inquiry under the misleading advertising provisions of the Competition Act into Air Canada's marketing of such flights amid concerns that consumers may be misled about the carrier's ability to operate out of the TCCA as scheduled.
Air Canada is not currently operating out of the TCCA due to a legal dispute.
Air Canada has advised the Commissioner of Competition that it has stopped all advertising and bookings for the TCCA until further notice. Consumers who have already booked flights in or out of the TCCA will be contacted by Air Canada and offered a full refund or the option to fly in or out of Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
