Air Canada joins WestJet in severing ties over claim of 'secret fares'
Hopper wrong to imply Air Canada created an advantage for the app over its other partners: airline official
Air Canada said Friday it will join rival WestJet in severing its ties with Hopper Inc. after the mobile travel app's suggestion it has sole access to "secret fares" caused confusion in the travel industry.
Hopper landed in hot water with other travel groups that sell air fares, such as travel agents and aggregator sites, when the company suggested earlier this week that they were the only ones to have special fares — at up to a 35 per cent discount — and marketing them as "Secret Fares."
