Air travel complaints per 100 flights, by airline, April 2022 to June 2023
Context
- The tables include airlines with an average of 1 or more complaints per 100 flights to/from/within Canada submitted to the CTA during 1 of the quarterly periods. Airlines that did not meet this criteria, or that did not operate at least 100 flights over the reporting periods, are not included on the list.
- The complaint data is based on the information submitted by passengers and may not have been reviewed by the CTA at the time of publishing.
- Complaints are submitted to the CTA after the passenger has attempted to resolve the issue directly with the airline. Airlines have 30 days to respond to the passenger.
- The data is based on the number of flights by airline and does not reflect the number of passengers per flight or the size of the aircraft.
- The data used for this dashboard is based on all of the air travel complaints submitted to the CTA; the numbers do not imply whether or not an airline actually met its regulatory requirements.
- Airlines identified in the complaint may change based on the information supplied by the passenger and the airline during the complaint review process.
- Complaints related to accessibility are not included in these tables.
