Transport Minister Omar Alghabra detailed a list of proposed reforms on Monday which he said are designed to close loopholes used by airlines to avoid paying…
“It will now be the airline that will need to prove that it does not have to pay for it. This will make the process much simpler and push the burden of proof onto the airlines.”“To ensure even greater accountability,” Alghabra said Ottawa is strengthening the Canadian Transportation Agency’s powers to allow the regulator to impose maximum fines of $250,000 on airlines — up tenfold from the current maximum of $25,000.
Now, the government is seeking to establish requirements for delayed baggage, too.Previous provisions only explicitly required airlines to compensate passengers for lost or damaged luggage. For complaints that reach the Canadian Transportation Agency, the regulator will have 60 days from the launch of its mediation process between the airline and passenger to order compensation or dismiss the claim.Article content
To simplify the complaints process, the government is proposing that the regulator be able to designate members of its staff as “complaint resolution officers.”
