Air Canada Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Air Canada flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Air Canada should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.

But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim Air Canada canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.

Under EU regulations, Air Canada should pay passengers up to £520 per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

Exceptions:
Air Canada will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no Air Canada flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

Air Canada Flight Delay Compensation

If you've experienced a delay due to Air Canada, it's worth checking whether you're eligible for compensation under EU regulation. Passengers delayed by Air Canada for 3 hours or more are entitled to up to £520 per person.

Air Passenger Rights and Flight Compensation
