Overview
- The proposed settlement would pay $18,075,000, with $15.075 million from Air Canada, $2 million from Nav Canada, and $1 million from the Halifax airport authority.
- A Nova Scotia Supreme Court hearing on June 22 will decide whether to approve the agreement.
- If approved, the deal would end the planned trial and likely appeals.
- Class lawyers must notify passengers in the class so they can review the terms and file any objections before the hearing.
- The Transportation Safety Board’s 2017 report said the crew did not account for a headwind and that Air Canada has since added a required altitude–distance cross-check.
