The federal Competition Bureau says the Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA) is unfairly limiting competition among in-flight catering companies at Vancouver International Airport. In a news release, the Competition Bureau says it has applied to the Competition Tribunal seeking an order that will require the VAA to allow greater access to in-flight catering companies wanting a piece of the business at YVR. "The VAA must follow the Competitions Act to drive innovation and allow market forces to work," said John Pecman, Commissioner of Competition. Currently only two multinational catering companies — CLS Catering and Gate Gourmet — are licensed to operate at the Vancouver airport. In response, the VAA said it will defend its position on in-flight catering licenses.
