Canadian Air Cargo Settlements

If you purchased Airfreight Shipping Services between January 1, 2000, and September 11, 2006, you could be affected by Class Action Settlements in Canada. "Airfreight Shipping Services" are air cargo shipments within, to, or from Canada (except to/from the United States).

New Settlements

The deadline to submit a claim has passed.

Settlements totaling CDN$16 million were reached with British Airways and Air Canada. Both Settlements were approved by the Ontario Court. The Air Canada Settlement was also approved by the British Columbia and Quebec Courts. With these Settlements, the class actions have been resolved against all defendants.

Copies of the settlement agreements and proposed distribution protocol are available on the Important Documents page.
