THE EMERGING INTEGRATION OF THE CANADIAN AND U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRIES
Transborder air traffic between the U.S. and Canada represents the largest international air travel market in the world. At the same time, transborder routes are really extensions of carriers' domestic networks rather than truly "international" services in the overseas sense of the world. U.S. customs and immigration preclearance as well as the proximity of major Canadian cities to the U.S. border further reinforce the domestic nature of U.S.-Canada transborder air services. Given the already significant degree of economic integration between the world's two largest trading partners, it seems appropriate that their respective airline industries should be closely linked. The fact that the major U.S. carriers dwarf their Canadian counterparts leads to a serious argument in favor of close cooperation, especially given the economies of scale and scope that can result. The measures taken to date by the governments and carriers of both nations are positive, and should help build more prosperous airline industries, and stronger economies, on both sides of the border.
