Traduction de «vol vancouver-kelowna » (Français → Anglais) :

If I am travelling from Hamilton to Kelowna, which entails my flying first to Toronto and perhaps then to Vancouver and then to Kelowna, the customer wants me to make sure the networks are intertwined so that the connections are convenient and I don't take two and a half days to get from one spot to the other, which means there has to be some sort of agreement, if you don't own the airline, between the mainline airline and the regional carrier—some agreement to interline the networks, what fee you will get for putting traffic onto me, what share of the overheads I will pick up of your operation, etc.

The point the member made was that the airport security fee in relation to, let us say, a $4,800 fare from Vancouver to Halifax would have a different impact compared to a fare from Vancouver to Kelowna or Calgary to Edmonton.

The hon. member failed to mention that if we travelled from Vancouver to Halifax or from Vancouver to Kelowna and went through security it would be a fixed cost.

For some travellers, for example passengers travelling on WestJet between Edmonton and Calgary or Vancouver and Kelowna, the $24 security fee will increase the cost of the ticket by 22%.

A passenger who has a $100 fare ticket from Kelowna to Vancouver or Edmonton to Calgary with WestJet, on a discount, low cost, short haul flight, will end up paying the $24 round trip tax, but someone who is flying on a business expense account on Air Canada, a full service carrier, from Halifax to Vancouver, on a $4,500 J class fare will pay a $24 round trip tax.
