- Cost Control—Most of the industry’s key players recorded strong profits in 2010, thanks to cost-control strategies initiated during the recession.
- Exchange Rate—The strong Canadian dollar has reduced airlines’ effective costs, as a large share of inputs are priced in U.S. dollars.
- Oil Prices—Oil prices have surged in the last six months and are expected to keep increasing in the coming years. Air transporters may be forced to pass these higher costs on to customers.
