The CEOs of Air Canada and WestJet will appear before the standing committee on transport, infrastructure and communities.

Air Canada’s move follows an earlier decision by WestJet to introduce an “ UltraBasic ” fare class that allows passengers to carry no more than a laptop bag or small backpack on board.

Federal Transport Minister Anita Anand has expressed concern about the trend of airlines introducing layers of add-on fees.
