OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's antitrust regulator said on Thursday it had obtained court orders to seek information from Air Canada and WestJet for a market study into competition in the country's airline industry.

The court orders require the airlines to share information on the state of competition, barriers to entry in the sector as well as agreements with airports, Canada's Competition Bureau said in a statement.
