N.S. couple took Air Canada to court over flight delay — and won

The airline cancelled their connecting flight from Toronto to New York in July 2022, citing “crew constraints” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his ruling, an adjudicator said it wasn’t an adequate reason for a flight delay two years into the pandemic.
