What Compensation Can You Get at Montreal Trudeau Airport?
If your flight was delayed, cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you may be covered by Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR). These rules are different from EU Regulation 261/2004.
Here is when APPR may provide compensation:
- Your flight was delayed by at least 3 hours and the disruption was within the airline’s control and not required for safety.
- You experienced a flight cancellation within the airline’s control and not required for safety.
- The airline denied you boarding due to overbooking or similar commercial reasons.
APPR applies to flights departing from Montreal, arriving there on a Canadian carrier, or connecting through on a Canadian carrier. For certain international itineraries involving the European Union, EU Regulation 261/2004 may apply instead, depending on the route and airline.
Did Montreal Trudeau Surprise You With a Cancelled Flight?
APPR vs EU261 - Which Rights Apply at Montreal Trudeau Airport?
At Canadian airports like Montreal Trudeau, APPR generally applies. EU Regulation 261/2004 applies only in specific situations involving the European Union
| Situation | Regulation |
|---|---|
| Departing from Montreal | APPR |
| Arriving at Montreal Trudeau on an EU airline from the EU | EU Regulation 261/2004 |
| Departing from the EU to Montreal on any airline | EU Regulation 261/2004 |
| Domestic flights within Canada | APPR |
If you are flying in or out of Montreal, APPR is usually the applicable regulation. EU Regulation 261/2004 applies only when your route and airline meet its legal criteria
Montreal Trudeau Airport Compensation Eligibility
When You Are Eligible
You may receive compensation from the airline if the disruption was within the airline’s control and not required for safety, such as:
- Airline staff strikes (not airport-wide or third-party strikes).
- A delay of more than 3 hours caused by operational issues.
- You were denied boarding due to overbooking.
- Your flight was cancelled within the airline’s control and without proper notice.
If one of these applies to your situation, you may have grounds to claim compensation. Not all flight delays and cancellations result in payment, but reviewing your eligibility is worthwhile.
When You Are Not Eligible
You generally will not receive monetary compensation if the disruption was outside the airline’s control or required for safety. Examples include:
- Severe or extreme weather.
- Airport security incidents.
- Air traffic control restrictions.
- Mechanical problems identified as necessary for safety.
In these situations, financial compensation may not be required under APPR. However, the airline may still have obligations such as rebooking you on the next available flight at no additional cost. Meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, and transportation are provided according to the airline’s obligations under APPR and its policies, depending on the circumstances
