Air Canada says it has cut fares in recent months as competition increases in the airline industry. WestJet in particular has taken a slice of Air Canada’s business as lower fuel costs and increasing passenger numbers create new opportunities. BMO Capital Markets said in a client note that low air fares may not last too much longer, especially if oil prices increase.
