There are non-optional fees you’ll be charged when you buy your airline ticket.

Air Travellers Security Charge , Airport Improvement Fee and NAV ( Canada ) fees are built-in.

Air Canada charges customers to pay additional surcharges to offset some costs, including fuel, navigational and insurance charges.

The NAV Canada fee is another fee, as the company provides services including air traffic control, weather briefings and airport advisory services.

Air Canada combines the majority of its fees, with the departing base fare at $ 207.81 and $ 190 for its return.

It then charges $ 30 in carrier surcharges, $ 18.92 in security fees, $ 72 in airport improvement, and $ 67.78 in tax.

Lee said it’s yet to be seen how the parties will potentially tackle airline fees.
