A Calgary-based airline industry consultant says a possible solution to the financial problems for the country’s largest airline is to establish a low cost operation.
Rick Erickson with RP Erickson & Associates tells 660News, 70 per cent of the flying public is only interested in buying the cheapest possible flights.
Erickson says Air Canada not only wants, but needs to establish a low cost alternative to generate the revenue needed to pay the bills.
He says after years of making concessions, Air Canada’s various unions are looking for a little payback.
Erickson says the federal government needs to find ways to bring the parties together to find a solution, not drive them apart.
