WestJet CEO calls for government fee freeze and airport rent halt to boost competition, reduce airfares, and enhance transparency.

WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech calls for a freeze on government fees imposed on passengers and a halt to airport rent collection by Ottawa, urging the government to review Canada's user-pay model of airport finance.
