What Is the APPR?
The Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) ensure that passengers on flights to, from, and within Canada are protected. They apply to all airlines operating flights that involve Canada.
The Canadian Transportation Agency is responsible for oversight and helps ensure fair treatment in cases of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.
History and the Regulation
The APPR was introduced in 2019. Its main goal is to strengthen air passenger rights in Canada and ensure that passengers receive fair treatment when disruptions are within the airline’s control.
Before 2019, there were fewer defined protections for air travelers in Canada, and it was often more difficult to seek refunds or compensation for delayed and cancelled flights. The APPR now provides clearer standards for compensation and assistance in covered situations.
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 generally be within the airline’s control and not required for safety reasons.
For example, airline staffing issues or certain maintenance problems may qualify. Severe weather or other events outside the airline’s control typically do not.
If you are seeking compensation of up to $1,800, check whether your situation qualifies.
APPR Compensation: Key Points
-
Up to $1,800 (CAD 2,400 ) in monetary compensation for certain flight disruptions.
-
Covers flight delays and cancellations, denied boarding, and baggage issues.
-
Applies to flights to, from, and within Canada, including connecting flights that are part of the same itinerary.
-
In case of a qualifying flight disruption, airlines must offer alternate travel arrangements or a refund.
-

Exceptions: When You’re Not Entitled to Compensation

In these cases, airlines must still meet certain obligations, such as providing rebooking or refunds where applicable. Assistance such as meals or accommodation may be provided depending on the circumstances and the length of the delay.av
