Mr. Iacono, thank you for your question.
Many of our employees live in your riding because it's located near our international hub in Montreal.
All carriers keep a close eye on costs to make sure they can offer an affordable and competitive product, and not just compared to other airlines in the country.
You mentioned international travel, where the competition is global. Since we fly to Morocco, we compete with Royal Air Maroc. We also fly to Algeria, and Air Algérie also has flights to Montreal.
Canadian carriers have to offer a product at a competitive price so passengers will choose to fly with us. That in turn helps us create jobs here at home.
