The appeal, which aims to quash rules that beef up compensation for travellers subjected to delayed flights and damaged luggage, was filed last month by Air Canada and Porter Airlines Inc. along with 15 other airlines and two industry groups.
Under the new rules passengers can be compensated up to $2,400 if they are bumped from a flight and receive up to $2,100 for lost or damaged luggage. Compensation of up to $1,000 for delays and other payments for cancelled flights will take effect in December.
Guess we are going to have a Hong Kong rally at pearson soon. Airlines, comply and do diligence or youll probably face the same as mentioned.
Not to mention this story adds to the accusation of Air Canada ripping off their customers on fuel surcharges. I guess that is one way to generate tons of profits.
Oh boy the airline lobbyists are fighting to deregulate themselves so they don’t have to respect their customers and treat them with dignity. No surprise
