      What Is the APPR?

      The APPR ensures that passengers travelling to, from, and within Canada are protected. It applies to all airlines operating in Canadian airspace.

      The Canadian Transportation Agency ensures that passengers receive fair treatment in the event of a flight delay, cancellation, or overbooking.

      History and the Regulation

      The APPR was introduced in 2019 with the primary aim of strengthening air passenger rights in Canada and ensuring fair treatment when disruptions are within the airline’s control.

      Before 2019, protections for air travellers were more limited, and it was harder to claim refunds or compensation for delayed or cancelled flights. The APPR now sets out clear rules on compensation and passenger assistance.

      When Are You Eligible for Compensation?

      You may be eligible for compensation if:

      - Your flight was delayed.
      - Your flight was cancelled.
      - Your baggage was lost, damaged, or delayed.
      - You were denied boarding due to overbooking.


      These situations must fall within the airline’s control and not be caused by extraordinary circumstances.
      For example, staffing issues or technical problems with the aircraft may entitle you to compensation, whereas extreme weather or other events beyond the airline’s control do not.

      • What Flights Are Covered by the APPR?

Before submitting your claim, make sure you have your original ticket, boarding pass, and any correspondence with the airline available.

      • Does the APPR Apply to International Travellers?

        Yes, if your flight delay involves Canada, the APPR applies regardless of your nationality. In cases of long delays or cancellations, the airline must provide alternative travel arrangements and may be required to pay financial compensation if no suitable alternative flight is available.
