“Extra fees on plane tickets are making flights too expensive. Airports are charging travellers for upgrades, and no rules stop them. We plan to set rules to control these fees.”
“Mr. Speaker, we intend to regulate those fees that show up on airfare tickets that cause prices to spike. In fact, those fees are going up as we speak. As airport facilities get improved, capital investments get made and those costs get passed on to travellers in the form of airport improvement charges. They are unregulated today. We intend to regulate them.”
