U.S. air travel compensation is changing. What Canadians should know
Full story
Recent changes to U.S. airline compensation rules remove airline responsibility for ten specific events. The list of events now includes situations such as aircraft damage caused by weather. By redefining these events as outside airline control, the amendments alter how compensation claims may be evaluated. Travelers from Canada who fly on U.S. carriers are advised to familiarize themselves with the new provisions.
The rules have been amended where 10 'events' are no longer under the airline's control, such as weather-related aircraft damage.
