Federal Appeal Court tosses Charter challenge for pair on Canada’s no-fly list

The Federal Court of Appeal has thrown out a bid by two men to get off the country’s no-fly list after they weren’t allowed to get on planes in Vancouver in 2018.In a ruling this week, the court dismissed an appeal by Bhagat Singh Brar and Parvkar Singh Dulai after they lost their constitutional challenge of Canada’s Secure Air Travel Act in the lower court.The ruling says the act empowers the public safety minister to ban people from flying if there are “reasonable grounds to suspect they will threaten transportation security or travel by air to commit a terrorism offence.”
