MONTREAL — Consumer rights advocates are demanding Air Canada provide compensation to many of the hundreds of thousands of passengers whose summer flights ...

The airline must aim to rebook passengers on a flight on its network that takes off within nine hours of the original departure time. “Therefore people should have a right of compensation.” “I wish I could promise you that the measures we are taking will mean an easy summer ahead. No international flights other than those to the United States were among the cull. “I believe it is the decision of Air Canada to cancel the flights,” De Bellefeuille said. The Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), which took force in 2019, require compensation — distinct from refunds — of between $400 and $1,000 for a cancellation or significant delay that is “within the carrier’s control,” should the traveller opt to reject the rebooking, and in some cases when they accept it.

Canada is hardly alone in the outrageous delays and cancellations at our airports, or in the acres of mishandled baggage piling up.

The poor showing of Canada's two biggest airlines signals the struggles the domestic industry is facing as it gears up after a long quiet period.

But when flights are delayed, this can push arrivals or departures into periods when there are not enough employees to unload the planes and process the passengers, said Dave Flowers, national president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents CATSA workers as well as Air Canada’s baggage handlers. In a statement, Air Canada said the size of its operations means it is disproportionately affected by disruptions at Toronto Pearson, at which 55 per cent of its flights land. Instead, the Canadian aviation industry is served by larger than usual number of players – the airlines, contractors that load luggage and screen passengers, and the airport authorities and government agencies, including Transport Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) and Canada Border Services Agency (and its U.S. counterpart at some airports). “You have a lot of cooks in the kitchen,” Prof. Lee said by phone. The Calgary-based airline flew 2,234 flights in that time. Ian Lee, a business professor at Carleton University, points to a lack of co-ordination and planning among the various companies and government agencies that work at the airports. Air Canada last week said it will cut its schedule in July and August by more than 9,000 flights, or 10 per cent to 15 per cent.
