Canada's Competition Bureau reported on October 28 that a proposed expansion of coordination between Air Canada and United Airlines would likely reduce competition on 10 Canada and United States routes, with higher fares expected on most of them. The finding is advice for the Minister of Transport's pending public interest review, not an authorization or a final determination against either airline, and existing 2012 restrictions remain in force.
