Good news!! The Transportation Modernization Act is now law in Canada, and its new rules and regulations will make a positive difference in the experiences of air travelers for years to come. Not only does it promote greater choice, connectivity, and lower costs, it also helps strengthen air passenger rights.
These new regulations will establish clear standards of treatment for air travelers in common situations, as well as the possibility of financial compensation in certain instances, such as:
denied boarding (such as due to overbooking);
delays and cancellations;
lost or damaged baggage;
and tarmac delays over a certain period of time.
The Transportation Modernization Act is a positive step towards the future of a more reliable and enjoyable flying experience here in Canada.
