HIGHER taxes and fees are often blamed for the millions of Canadian passengers eschewing local airports for those in nearby American cities. But according to a new report from the University of Maryland, "Transborder Demand Leakage and the U.S.-Canadian Air Passenger Market", these charges accounted for just 17% to 37% of the difference in fares between Canadian-US cross-border routes and comparable US domestic routes.
