This has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of Canadian passengers crossing the Canada-US border to travel from the US to their destination. This will continue to have a detrimental impact not only on Canadian airlines, but on the economy as a whole through job losses as passengers take their business out of the country. Westjet continues to call on and work with the federal government to remove these barriers to competition so that Canadians have a competitive choice and Canadian airlines can continue to thrive.
