The National Airlines Council of Canada’s peer-reviewed study, which was published earlier today, found that by reducing the third-party taxes, fees, charges and regulations that are currently imposed upon Canadian air travellers today, Canada could increase its GDP by up to 15 billion dollars. The report also found that in doing this, up to 150,000 jobs would be created, sparking trade and tourism opportunities from coast-to-coast-to-coast. 

“We are pleased to see that our valued partners at NACC are investing in the research WestJet has long believed and advocated for. Making air travel more affordable by lowering third-party taxes and fees is one of the most important levers in strengthening Canada’s economy,” said Jacqui McGillivary, WestJet Group EVP & Chief People and Public Affairs Officer.  

Between this report, and the Competition Bureau of Canada’s latest market study, WestJet is encouraged to see that industry partners, as well as Government, recognize the need for change.  

“A Canada connected by affordable air travel is a better Canada for everyone. I urge all Canadian to review NACC’s report and educate themselves on the importance of making air travel more affordable,” continued McGillivary. “NACC’s recommendations mean more Canadians could gain stronger access to necessities such as medical care and trade, as well as connect with the people and places they love.”
