What Compensation Can You Receive at Toronto Pearson Airport?

If your flight was delayed or cancelled, or if you were denied boarding, you may be entitled to compensation. In Canada, your rights are covered by the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), rather than EU legislation.

Here’s when you can claim compensation under the APPR:

  • Your flight was delayed for over 3 hours.
  • Your flight was cancelled.
  • The airline denied you boarding.

This applies when you’re flying out of YYZ, arriving at YYZ, or connecting through. Even if you’re merely passing through Toronto, the APPR might still offer you

 

How Much Can You Claim Under APPR?

  • Flight Delay or Cancellation Compensation (Large Airlines)

    - £220 for flights delayed between 3 and 4 hours.
    - £350 for flights delayed between 4 and 6 hours.
    - £520 for flights delayed by more than 6 hours.

  • Denied Boarding

    - £495 if your replacement flight arrived less than 6 hours late.
    - £990 if the delay was between 6 and 9 hours.
    - £1,320 if the delay was more than 9 hours.

APPR vs EU261 – Which Rights Apply at Toronto Pearson International Airport?

Only the APPR applies at Canadian airports, including Toronto Pearson (YYZ). Here’s a brief overview of which law applies in different situations.

Situation Regulation
Departing from YYZ APPR
Arriving at YYZ on an EU airline EU261
Departing from the EU to Toronto EU261
Domestic flights within Canada APPR

So, if you’re flying within Canada or from YYZ, EU rules won’t be of much help. You’ll need to claim under the APPR. If you experienced a Toronto Pearson Airport delay, you can skip EU261 altogether and focus solely on the APPR.

Toronto Pearson Airport Compensation Eligibility

When You Are Eligible

You are entitled to compensation if the flight delay was the airline’s fault, such as:

  • Staff strikes with no prior notice.
  • The flight was delayed by over 3 hours.
  • You were denied boarding due to overbooking.
  • Your flight got cancelled with no prior notice.

If any of these apply, you should try to claim your compensation.

When You Are Not Eligible

Not all flights qualify for compensation. You won’t receive compensation if the reason for the disruption was:

  • Severe weather.
  • Security threats.
  • Air traffic control delays.
  • Safety-related mechanical problems.

However, even if you can’t claim compensation, the airline is still required to assist you by providing meals, refreshments, and rebooking your flight.

How to Claim Compensation from Toronto Pearson Airport

If you decide that you are entitled to compensation under the APPR, here are the steps you need to follow.

  • 1. Contact the Airline

    You have up to 1 year to file a claim. Make sure to gather all relevant documentation, such as your flight ticket, boarding pass, and correspondence with the airline.

  • 2. Wait for a Response

    The airline must respond within 30 days. If they do not, or if the response doesn’t seem satisfactory, you can still take further steps to resolve the situation.

  • 3. Escalate the Issue

    If they ignore you or fail to respond, escalate the matter to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), and they should assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much compensation can I receive from Toronto Pearson Airport?

    You may receive up to £520 for flight delays at the airport and up to £1,320 if you were denied boarding and your final arrival was delayed under UK 261. However, if your flight delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or political unrest, the airline is not required to pay compensation under UK 261.

    In these situations, airline representatives should instead provide meals and refreshments and rebook you on another flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport.

  • Does the Canadian APPR apply to international travellers?

    Yes, if you are flying with a Canadian airline or departing from an airport in Canada, the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) may apply regardless of your nationality. Before submitting a claim, ensure that your flight from Toronto was disrupted due to the airline’s actions and not because of extraordinary circumstances.

    Airlines are not required to pay compensation if the disruption was caused by factors beyond their control, such as airport-related issues, severe weather, airport strikes, or other uncontrollable events at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

  • What if my flight was delayed by more than 3 hours?

    If your flight was delayed by more than three hours, you may be entitled to up to £520 in compensation from the airline. However, if your delay at Toronto Pearson International Airport was caused by severe weather, this would be considered an extraordinary circumstance. In such cases, the airline is not required to pay compensation, even if your final arrival time was more than three hours late.

  • Can I receive compensation from Air Canada?

    Yes, as a major airline in Canada, Air Canada is required to comply with the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), and you may be entitled to compensation if you meet the eligibility criteria. Before making a claim, ensure that the flight delay was the airline’s responsibility and not caused by extraordinary circumstances in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada.

  • How long do I have to claim compensation?

    You have up to one year to submit a claim before it becomes time-barred. Contact the airline regarding your flight disruption and provide all relevant information about what happened at the airport in Canada.
