DECISIONS

Small claims suit, flight delay – McNabb v. Air Canada, 2021 BCCRT (100)

Applicants sought damages under the Canada Transportation Act and Air Passenger Protection Regulations – applicants’ first claim for damages for cancelled flight – claim dismissed, as flight was cancelled for safety-related issues – applicants’ second claim for damages for delayed flight, resulting in passengers missing connecting flight at last leg of the trip – Court found airline’s explanation for delay “vague” and “varying”, such that it did not prove the delay was beyond its control, or within its control but due to safety purposes – claim upheld, passengers awarded $1000 per person, for $3000 total
