Case name
Class against seeking reimbursements and compensation related to the August 2025 Air Canada strike and flight cancellations.
Quebec Superior Court file #
500-06-001409-255
What this case is about
Following pre-emptive and reactionary flight cancellations, Air Canada misled their customers and provided them with inaccurate information in order to convince them to accept a refund (which was given in the form of a credit towards future travel), instead of informing them of their legal obligations and rights under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations, SOR/2019-150 (“APPR”) , the Montreal Convention and/or Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 (Europe), and others.
In the Plaintiff’s case, Air Canada rebooked her on a flight to Grenada that was 86 hours after her cancelled flight, which proves that Air Canada contravened both subsection 18(1) APPR (which provides for 48 hours maximum or “the next available flight”) and its own (illegal) undertaking to rebook her in “up to 3 days”.
