Air Passenger Rights & Flight Compensation

Air passenger rights are designed to protect you in the event of flight disruptions such as cancellations or long delays. If your Porter Airlines flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation, depending on the circumstances and the origin or destination of your flight. For flights departing from the European Union (EU) or operated by an EU airline arriving in the EU, the EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261/EC 261) provides strong protections for passengers.

Under EU 261, if your flight with Porter Airlines originated from an EU airport, or if you were flying to the EU on an EU-based carrier, you may be eligible for compensation in the event of a delay of more than three hours, cancellation, or denied boarding. The compensation amount depends on the flight distance:

• €250 per passenger for flights up to 1,500 km
• €400 per passenger for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
• €600 per passenger for flights over 3,500 km

To be eligible for EU 261 compensation, your Porter Airlines flight must have departed from an EU country. If your flight originated outside the EU and was operated by Porter Airlines (a non-EU airline), EU 261 rights do not apply when flying into the EU. However, other local regulations may offer protection for flights within Canada.

Compensation under EU 261 is not automatic and depends on the cause of the delay or cancellation. Extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather, may exempt airlines from paying compensation. Always keep your travel documents and document any communication with the airline to support your compensation claim.
