Regional airline Jetsgo Corp. has filed a complaint with the federal Competition Bureau over a three-year deal between Air Canada and the Quebec government that the rival carrier says hurts its business. Under the agreement, Quebec government employees will fly Air Canada at full fare most of the time while the airline offers other travellers fare reductions of up to 70 per cent on 15 regional routes within the province. Jetsgo president Michel Leblanc said the deal will hurt his airline and flies in the face of free-market values. He added it will cost the Quebec government $358 to buy a one-way ticket between Bagotville and Montreal, while the same flight on Jetsgo costs $78.
