2017 Air Transat Tarmac Delay Inquiry
CTA issues determination in Air Transat inquiry:
Determination No. A-2017-194
Background
On August 30 and 31, 2017, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) held a public hearing into the tarmac delay incidents involving two Air Transat flights on July 31, 2017.
The CTA considered two issues in this proceeding:
- Did Air Transat properly apply its Tariff during these incidents, pursuant to subsection 110(4) of the ATR?
- Are Air Transat's applicable Tariff provisions reasonable, pursuant to subsection 111(1) of the ATR?
Broader questions regarding industry-wide rules around tarmac delays were not addressed at the hearing but rather, will be dealt with through public consultations on air passenger rights regulations, which are expected to begin once the Transportation Modernization Act (Bill C-49) currently before Parliament receives royal assent.
