INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Twenty-one per cent of leisure travelers said they traveled by car to a US airport last year to take a trip using less expensive airline tickets purchased for US or foreign travel, and an additional 11% said although they had not done so in the past, they might this year.
- The dollar at par and high costs for Canadian airports and travel mean that Canadian air carriers are at a distinct disadvantage and cannot offer the prices to match those in the United States,” said HAC president Tony Pollard.
- “This growing trend has serious consequences for the Canadian travel industry and needs to be addressed by the reduction of airport fees, travel security costs and airline surcharges.
