Paper Summary:

This paper reviews the incident of May 29, 2006 when Westjet Airlines ended a two year legal battle with its primary rival Air Canada by conceding that it had committed unethical business practices. The paper discusses how while Westjet's admission and apology together with its paying Air Canada's court costs of CAN $5.5 million and a donation of CAN $10 million to children's charities ended what in the view of the business community was an unprecedented bitterly public quarrel between the two companies, this dispute was widely regarded as a significant case in terms of Canadian business management ethics.
