Are you worried about your delayed Air Canada flight? There can be many reasons for flight delays, such as weather conditions, technical issues in the plane, delay in the previous flight, etc. Air Canada Flight Delay Compensation, however, depends upon the reason for the delay. The airlines are not bound to compensate passengers for situations that are beyond their control. For matters like technical issues, management problems, lack of flight attendants or crew members, absence of pilots, etc. which can be managed by the airlines, it is mandatory for the airlines to pay reimbursement if the flight is delayed by 3 or more than 3 hours.
