Airline says trash data a treasure: Air Canada court files indicate WestJet mapped out 'best and worst' routes
Article Abstract:
WestJet Airlines Ltd. generated summaries of Air Canada's 'best and worst' routes by probing into the numbers of seats sold, according to court documents in a corporate espionage case that riveted the country's aviation industry. The summary reports that outline the number of seats available on an Air Canada route and the way passengers boarded, have become the centerpiece so far in the carrier's $220-million lawsuit against WestJet.
