It's not true that AC has "government ties", but they have power over legislators. So maybe they push for rules like these because they benefit.

But it's also possible that they merely follow the rules and it is unfair to have to compete with someone who isn't following those rules.

Almost every country restricts operation of foreign-controlled airlines on domestic routes.

Dan,  do you even know who is on the board of directors for Ac.   Have a look and tell me again they have no governmental influence.
